Istruzioni

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.
