This cookie recipe comes from a very old cookbook of my Grams and the title of the book is get this, "Cookie Cookbook"...LOL It's a paperback book which contains over 500 cookie recipes. I'm going to try more of them in the coming months. I tweaked this recipe and added my own glaze. Rolled some and dropped some. The recipe calls...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. In a bowl, combine sugar, shortening, salt and food coloring. Blend thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. I lightly floured a surface on my counter to roll the cookies and cut with a biscuit cutter. Recipe states to just roll small portions at a time. Like I said in description of recipe, I got lazy and made drop cookies as well, using my small cookie scoop ( about 1 tbsp. ) I sprayed a sheet pan, it didn't call for that, but I always do. Place on sheet, about 1 inch apart. Recipe states to sprinkle with sugar if desired. I didn't, as I used my lemon glaze. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove cookies from pan, cool on rack and frost if desired. I think the addition of my glaze really put these over the top.
- 2. Glaze : Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth If needs thinned, either add more juice or milk. If needs to be thicker, add more sugar.
- 3. Spread over cooled cookies. I sprinkled mine with yellow sugar crystals.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor work bowl, add sugar and lemon zest. Process until sugar and zest are well mixed, about 20 seconds. Scrape into a large mixing bowl. Reserve about 1/2 cup of lemon sugar in a separate bowl for later use.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt into food processor and pulse briefly to mix. Add cold butter into food processor with flour mixture and process with short pulses until mixture resembles cornmeal and no large lumps of butter remain, about 10 pulses. Pour this mixture into the sugar and lemon mixture in the large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix egg yolks, vanilla extract and lemon juice together.
- Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, pour in the lemon/sugar and flour/butter mixture and stir until combined, about 15 seconds. Then, while the mixer is still running, slowly add egg/lemon juice mixture and mix until well combined and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 15 to 30 seconds.
- Scrape the dough into a large bowl and refrigerate until cold, but not solid, about 30 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Take the dough balls and roll the tops into the reserved lemon sugar. Use the bottom of a water glass to press the cookies flat, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake the cookies until slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper with the cookies from the tray to a cooling rack and cool completely, about 1 hour. Once the cookies have completely cooled, ice with Lemon Icing.
- 1 pound (2 cups) confectioners' sugar
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- In a medium bowl, whisk sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Spoon onto cooled cookies, and spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Let stand on a cooling rack until the glaze is set, about 1 hour.
- Yield: enough for 3 dozen cookies

SOFT LEMON COOKIES FROM SCRATCH
These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. Following this recipe as written, you can take comfort in knowing you're not feeding your children any artificial colorings.
