Place the lemon sugar cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet. If you want flatter cookies, you can slightly press the dough down with your palm, but leave as is for the cookies you see pictured. Make sure that each cookie is kept about 2 inches apart since they will spread while baking.

Remove the cookie tray from the oven and immediately tap the tray on the counter to produce a more “wrinkly” cookie. Then, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. The cookies will be soft and puffy out of the oven and will naturally deflate a little while cooling.

baking powder

butter

sugar

vanilla

lemon zest (finely minced, about 1 large lemon's worth)

lemon juice

brown rice flour

oat flour

tapioca starch

potato starch

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

The dough will be somewhat dry and crumbly, but can easily be pressed together. Scoop into 1&quot; balls and gently roll them smooth between your hands. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are set, but not browned. These will be small, round cookies and shouldn&#39;t flatten or spread much at all. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookie Instructions

Slowly add the lemon juice into the powdered sugar, stirring until the glaze can be easily stirred and poured. Drizzle the glaze over the top of each cooled cookie.

Allow the glaze to set completely and then transfer the cookies to an airtight container. They should keep well at room temperature for a few days, or in the freezer for up to two months. Enjoy!

Lemon Drop Cookies

all purpose flour

shortening

water

lemon juice (one lemon)

lemon zest (one lemon)

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.

Blend the lemon zest with the sugar, rubbing it together with your fingers.TIP - Rubbing the lemon zest into the sugar before combining it with the other ingredients helps release the lemon oils while enhancing the flavor.

With a mixer, cream the shortening then gradually add the lemon-sugar.

Add egg, lemon juice, and water; beat until combined.

Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The dough will be looser and stickier than a traditional cookie dough.

Drop by level tablespoons (a cookie scoop is perfect!) onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Combine all three ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth.

Use a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon to add glaze to the center of each cookie. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the glaze. Let glaze harden for a couple hours before storing or stacking the cookies.

How to Make the Glaze

I'm gonna try this for Thanksgiving ,they look amazing, they favor tea cakes , but that icing will bump up the lemon as one of the viewers revealed 😋

This lemon drop cookies recipe looks mouthwatering! Thank you for sharing.

I made these up the other day, the recipe is very easy to follow and I made them up exactly as it read. The cookies took 8 min in my oven to cook perfectly.  The lemon gaze really bumped up the lemon flavour. They stacked well in a container once the icing had hardened . They are a great cake like cookie that go great with a hot or cold tea served with a lemon wedge or a nice tall cold glass of lemonade . Adding this recipe to my favourite binder.
