# What You’ll Need:
→ Cookie Dough
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 cup cornstarch
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Lemon Glaze
09 - 1 cup powdered sugar
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
11 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Set oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter with powdered sugar using a mixer until pale and fluffy.
03 - Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
04 - Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, form into balls, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each with fingertips.
06 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are just set and still pale. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Add lemon zest for extra flavor if desired.
08 - Once cooled, drizzle or dip each cookie with the lemon glaze. Let set for 15 minutes before serving.
