Prepare the Dough

• • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

• • Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.

• • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Chill the Dough

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.

Bake the Cookies

• • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

• • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Make the Glaze

• • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more powdered sugar or lemon juice if needed.

Glaze the Cookies

Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top or dip each cookie into the glaze for a more even coating
