Glazed Lemon Cookies

Recipe for Lemon Cookies.

I make these cookies every year to give as Christmas gifts and they are a huge hit each time I give them away. I’ve actually started making some extra batches to keep at home, though, because we love them too!

These cookies and soft, sweet and tangy – all at the same time. They are delicious!
