Cookies with powdered sugar glaze

Cake cookies with powdered sugar glaze are a delightful treat that combines the tart brightness of lemon with the sweetness of powdered sugar. These soft, zesty cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a tea party or simply looking for a delicious dessert to enjoy at home.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
77g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
1 egg
44g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2/3 cup powdered sugar
70g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Shape the Cookies:
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, gently press down each dough ball with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten.
4. Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Prepare the Powdered Sugar Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable; if it's too thick, add a bit more lemon juice, a few drops at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Glaze the Cookies:
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the lemon glaze over the tops of each cookie using a spoon or a fork.
- Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy your cookies with a cup of tea or your favorite beverage!

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you begin to ensure it creams properly with the sugar.

- For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding a bit more lemon zest to the cookie dough or the glaze.

- If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before scooping and baking.

- To ensure even baking, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time.

These cookies are a refreshing and tangy treat that can brighten up any day. With their soft texture and citrusy glaze, they are sure to become a favorite among friends and family. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or as a delightful dessert.
