Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • zest from two lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instruction

  • Beat butter, sugar, zest and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks and stir just until blended.
  • Mix together flour and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix just until blended.
  • Divide dough in half and roll into cylinders (about a foot long). Place in refrigerator for two hours or up to five days.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Remove dough from fridge and unwrap. Slice into circles about 1/4 inch thick and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown around the edges. Remove immediately to wire racks and let cool completely.
  • Once cookies are completely cooled, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle or spread over cookies.
