Lemon Glazed Lemon Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cookies:
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In the large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
• Glaze:
• Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2-teaspoon onto each cookie and use the back of the spoon to gently spread. Let the glaze harden for about 2 hours. Pack the cookies into a decorative container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
• Mix flour, lemon zest, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour over butter mixture; beat until combined.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into cookies. Arrange on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and bottoms are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool, about 10 minutes.
• While cookies are cooling, mix icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Spread glaze over the cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat until combined. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread cookies with Lemon Glaze and let set, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and lemon zest and juice until smooth.

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and beat in sour cream and lemon zest. Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
• Refrigerate dough until slightly firm, about 1 hour.
• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
• Bake until just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking time (one sheet of cookies took about 12 minutes, the other sheet ended up taking 16 minutes). Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• While cookies cool, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest for glaze together and lightly drizzle cookies when they are almost completely cooled.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions; heat oven to 375°F.
• In food processor, process granulated sugar and lemon zest until sugar looks damp and zest is thoroughly incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add flour, salt, and baking powder; pulse to combine, about 10 one-second pulses.
• Scatter butter chunks over; pulse until mixture resembles fine cornmeal, about 15 one-second pulses.
• In measuring cup or small bowl, beat together lemon juice, egg yolk, and vanilla with fork to combine.
• With machine running, add juice/yolk mixture in slow, steady stream (process should take about 10 seconds); continue processing until dough begins to form a ball, 10-15 seconds longer.
• Turn dough and any dry bits on counter; working quickly, gently knead together to ensure that no dry bits remain and dough is homogenous.
• Shape dough into log about 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap dough in parchment, and twist parchment to seal. Chill dough until firm and cold, about 45 minutes in freezer or 2 hours in refrigerator.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove dough log from wrapping and, using sharp chef's knife, slice dough into rounds 3/8 inch thick. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
• Bake until centers of cookies just begin to color and edges are golden brown, 14-16 minutes, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking time.
• Cool cookies on baking sheet about 5 minutes.
• Using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temp before glazing.
• For the glaze: Whisk cream cheese and lemon juice in medium nonreactive bowl until no lumps remain. Add confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth.
• To glaze the cookies: When cookies have cooled, working one at a time, spoon scant teaspoon glaze onto each cookie and spread evenly with back of spoon. Let cookies stand on wire rack until glaze is set and dry, about 1 hour.
