Glazed Lemon Cookies

Makes 24 large cookies, so double this recipe and make small cookies; then it makes about 80!
Preheat oven 350

Cookie Dough

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs grated lemon zest, plus 2 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Lemon Glaze

2 cups confection sugar
2 Tbs finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice

In bowl, whisk together ingredients until smooth

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, salt, and lemon zest.
In large bowl with electric mixer, beat together butter & sugar until light and fluffy; add egg, vanilla, & lemon juice.
Beat until combined.
With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture.

Drop with tsp, 1 " apart on baking sheets. I like to line cookie sheet with a silpat mat.

Bake until edges are golden brown about 15-20 minutes
Let cool 2 min on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire rack to cool completly.

Spread or drizzle cookes with lemon glaze and let set 1 hour. (I freeze cookies on cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooklie tin or ziplock bag--often I refreeze cookies.)

These are delicious cookies!
