@tidying.tastes: These perfectly soft Lemon Meltaway Cookies live up to their name with a tender, buttery texture that practically dissolves in your mouth! Packed with bright, fresh citrus in both the dough and the sweet glaze, they are a refreshing and irresistible treat perfect for springtime baking. Ingredients For the Cookies: 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg Zest of 1 lemon 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt For the Lemon Icing: 2 cups powdered sugar 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice Instructions Preheat your oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and the fresh lemon zest until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until a soft dough forms. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls slightly with your fingers. Bake for 8–10 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the bottoms are lightly golden but the tops remain pale. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cookies cool, make the icing by whisking the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice together in a small bowl until completely smooth. Once the cookies are 100% cool, dip the tops into the icing or spread it on with a spoon. Let the icing set completely before serving. Pro Tips Ensure your cookies are completely cooled before adding the icing! If the cookies are even slightly warm, the sweet lemon glaze will melt right off the sides. For the brightest, most natural citrus flavor, always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the icing rather than bottled juice. #LemonCookies #MeltawayCookies #SpringBaking #CitrusDesserts #recipes
