Cookie Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking sheet, then set it aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a greased cookie sheet, ensuring there is a 2-inch space between each one.
- To flatten the cookies, gently press the bottom of a drinking glass onto each ball.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool for at least one hour before frosting.
Lemon Glaze Instructions
- To make the frosting glaze, combine all the glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a whisk to eliminate any lumps from the powdered sugar.
- Once the cookies have cooled, frost them using a dollop of frosting applied with a spoon or spatula. After about 6 hours, the frosting glaze will harden, allowing you to stack your lemon meltaway cookies!
- Finally, sprinkle the cookies with lemon zest for a finishing touch, then serve and enjoy!
