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.
