Here below is an excerpt about these cookies from Stephanie Jaworski from her website
Some times all you need to satisfy a sweet tooth, is a really great tasting cookie. These Lemon Cookies are just that. Good lemons, good butter, and good eggs are all that you need. They have a sweet and buttery lemon flavor with a light and crispy texture. It’s the outer yellow skin (zest) of the lemon that gives these cookies their tangy lemon flavor. And to bump up the lemon flavor even more, we drizzle the tops of the baked cookies with a lemon glaze.
Below is a list of the ingredients you will need to make these cookies plus the video tutorial to watch
Lemon Cookies:
2/3 cup (135 grams) granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon (6 grams) freshly grated lemon zest (outer yellow skin of lemon) (about 1-2 large lemons)
14 tablespoons (200 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks (35 grams), at room temperature
2 cups (260 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt or kosher salt)
