Description

These super easy, soft-baked lemon cookies with glaze are the perfect dessert for summer parties or bake sales.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 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.
