• temps total: 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingrédients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

½ cup butter (8 tablespoons)

½ cup vegetable shortening

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

For the lemon cookie:

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside until ready to use.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, and vanilla, mixing until combined.

Slowly add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.

Transfer the dough to a medium bowl, then cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Scoop the dough in tablespoon portions and drop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake until the edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and let cool.

For the glaze:

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the confectioners sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the baked cookies and serve.
