Step 1

Sift together the flour and salt.

Step 2

In a large bowl with a wooden spoon mix together the butter, sugar and zest. Add the sifted flour mixture a little at a time, stirring between additions.  Once the dough starts to come together (even if you haven't add all the flour), move to a flat surface and knead into a compact ball. (If you need extra flour add one tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too crumbly add more butter, a little at a time).

Step 3

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 2 hours. You can also shape the dough into a log or two, refrigerate then slice and bake.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out cookies.  Place cookies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).

Step 6

Bake cookies for approximately 12 minutes.  Let cool completely before drizzling with glaze.  Enjoy.

Step 7

In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, lemon juice and cream, if too thin add more sugar too thick add either more lemon juice or cream.
