Ingredients
- FOR THE COOKIES:
- 1 cup Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- ½ teaspoons Lemon Extract
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
- FOR THE LEMON GLAZE:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl when needed. Add egg, lemon extract and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add lemon juice, salt, baking soda and baking powder; mix until combined. Add flour and mix until combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2″ apart and bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottom is lightly browned. Refrigerate the dough between batches. Remove from oven.
Let cookies cool on pan for 2 minutes, then move them to a baking rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: In a bowl, add powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix until combined. If you like it thicker add more powdered sugar; if you like it thinner, add more lemon juice. Drizzle glaze over cookies. I used the tines of a fork.
