Method
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand-held mixer, mix the butter and cornstarch until well combined and lighter in color.
- With the mixer off, add confectioners' sugar.
- With the mixer on low, add the lemon extract and mix until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Turn mixer off and add flour. With the mixer on low to medium-low, mix until the dough comes together (pulls away from sides of the bowl).
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, remove about a tablespoon of dough. Place onto the lined cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
- Once the cookie sheet is full, gently roll each between your hands until it is a smooth ball.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Right out of the oven take a glass with a flat bottom and gently press it into the cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool for about 5 minutes and then move to a cooling rack. Make sure cookies are completely cool before adding glaze.
Glaze
- In a medium bowl add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 3.5 teaspoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of lemon extract. Stir until smooth.
- Place in a piping bag and seal with a rubber band, or spoon onto the cooled cookies.
Notes
These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For an extra lemony kick, you can add a bit of lemon zest to the cookie dough.
