Ingredients
- 3/4 /4 cup salted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 /2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 /2 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 1/4 /4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 /2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the Lemon Glaze
- 1/2 /2 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, cornstarch, and confectioner's sugar with an electric mixer until well-combined, about 3 minutes. Add flour to the butter mixture until just combined. Add the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Beat until thoroughly mixed and a soft dough is formed.
- Divide the dough in half and turn each half out onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Form each half into a 1-inch roll, twisting the ends of the paper to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Slice the dough into 1/4-inch slices and place onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Cookies will not brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
For the Lemon Glaze
- Add the confectioner's sugar to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, stirring until the glaze is smooth.
- Once the lemon shortbread cookies have cooled completely, spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of glaze onto each cookie and spread around the center of the cookie. Allow the glaze to set and serve.
