Lemon Breeze Cookies These delightful Lemon Breeze Cookies are light and refreshing, perfect for any occasion. The tangy lemon zest combined with a smooth glaze will leave you wanting more. Ingredients For the cookies: 1 cup butter, softened ¾ cup sugar 1 egg, large 1 lemon, zest of 2 cups flour, all purpose ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt For the glaze: 1½ cups powdered sugar 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp heavy cream, or milk ? tsp salt Instructions In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Mix in the large egg until the mixture is well combined, then stir in the lemon zest. Add half a cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until all two cups are thoroughly incorporated. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough, roll into balls, and slightly flatten them with your palm before placing them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375?F for 8-9 minutes, or until the centers are just set. The cookies should remain light in color and not brown. Allow the cookies to rest for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and heavy cream until smooth. Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze by turning them upside down, lifting them out gently, then turning them right side up again and placing them back on the cooling rack or a sheet of parchment to dry.
