Ingredients:
For Lemon Cookies:

• 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of softened unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons of lemon zest
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  For Lemon Icing:
• 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk
• 2 tablespoons of lemon zest

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer set to medium speed for this step.
4. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are just incorporated.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, mixing on low speed until everything is well combined.
6. Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just lightly browned. Once baked, transfer the cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.
8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the lemon icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest until you get a smooth icing consistency.
9. Once the cookies are fully cooled, ice them generously with the lemon icing. Place the iced cookies back onto the cooling racks to allow the icing to set.
