Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- lemon from one whole lemon, zest
- ⅔ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 2 egg large
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the Glaze:
- 1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar sifted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh

Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Once cookies have cooled completely, prepare the glaze.
For the Glaze:
