Delicious soft lemon cookies with a glaze. I make my glaze with a little lemon juice but you can use milk if you want it sweeter.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

Cookies:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • ½ cup lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • â…“ cup lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in the well. Mix and knead until a dough forms.

  3. Roll into balls and flatten with the heel of your hand or anything with a flat surface. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 8 minutes for a softer cookie, 10 to 12 minutes for a crispier cookie. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.

  5. While cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and glaze cookies however you like.

Cook's Note:

You can use any cooking oil you like.
