These cookies have legitimate lemon flavor from the fresh zest and they melt-in-your-mouth! The lightly sweet cookie, topped with creamy sweet frosting is the perfect combination.
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cornstarch
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 c. butter, softened
2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. grated lemon zest
Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and salt. In a different bowl cream the butter, add the lemon juice and zest and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Divide the dough in half and form each in to a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. When ready to bake, slice the log in 1/4 inch slices and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool and frost.
Lemon Frosting: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 c. butter and 2 teaspoons lemon juice until light and fluffy. Frost each cookie with a dollop of frosting.
