When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the dough mounds 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared sheet and bake for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, until the tops and edges are just set (don’t overbake).
8
Let cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. If a thinner glaze is desired, add the extra tablespoon of lemon juice.

Dip the top of each cookie in the glaze, then return to the wire rack until the glaze is set.

Enjoy with a cup of tea. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
