📝 Preparation Steps

3
Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
4
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 2 hours, or overnight.
5
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
6
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and using a medium (2- tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place onto the baking sheet 2- inches apart. Bake for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes or until the the bottoms just begin to turn golden. Don’t over-bake.
7
When you remove the baking sheet form the oven, drop the sheet onto a counter or your stove top a few inches in the air 3-4 times. This will flatten the cookies slightly and make them dense, removing the air from the cookies, while also giving them a nice textured top.
8
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
9
To prepare the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, and zest until smooth. Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, and place back on the wired rack to set up.
