LEMON COOKIES WITH LOVELY LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, poppy seeds (optional) and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, add in softened butter, sugar and lemon zest; beat on high for 2 minutes. Next add in egg and almond extract. Beat for 1 minute until well combined. (It's SUPER important the egg is at room temperature. To achieve this, just run it under warm water for 1 minute).
• Slowly add in the dry ingredients and fresh lemon juice and mix on medium low speed until well combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to grab the dough, then use your hands to roll dough into a circle. Roll in sugar, then place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat, leaving at least 2 inches between each dough ball.
• Bake for 11-14 minute or until edges are barely golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Once cookies are completely cooled, you can glaze them. Make the glaze by adding powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and almond extract in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. You may need to add in more lemon juice if the glaze is too thick (start with a teaspoon at a time). Glaze should be somewhat thick.
• Spoon about ½ tablespoon of glaze to each cookie and use a spoon to spread around. Enjoy! Makes 12 cookies.
