Lemon Sugar Cookies
These Lemon Sugar Cookies are not only quick and simple to make, they taste absolutely delicious too! I love lemon flavored anything – from cakes to cookies and this recipe does not disappoint! Sweet, yet zingy with citrus flavor you won’t be able to stop eating these!
Start by creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, lemon extract and zest. Scrape the sides and mix again. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Scoop onto prepared sheets and use a cup dipped in sugar to flatten the cookies. Bake in the oven and once cooked, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Make a glaze by stirring powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each cookie and wait for it to dry before devouring!
