Pucker up party people! These bite size delights will be a hit with your family and friends, I promise! I brought a batch of them to the shop for our customers and the platter was empty by noon. Success! My husband was really bummed that I didn't save him one, oops. That just means I am going to have to make them again very soon. Plus, the sugary, lemon aroma that fills the house as you are baking them is beyond mouth watering! Enjoy.
Lemon Sugar Cookies
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mix until combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Incorporate flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until just combined, don't over mix.
Spoon dough onto your cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. Top cooled cookies with lemon glaze and a raspberry.
Lemon Glaze
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
