LEMON CREAM CHEESE COOKIES
Chewy and sweet, these simple cookies are heavenly with a cup of tea - and a lavish dose of fresh lemon zest provides some pluck. Cream cheese is the star ingredient in both the cookie and its glaze, and performs two tasks: It imparts tanginess and contributes to the soft texture. These cookies are simple but delicate, so you'll want to pull them from the oven as soon as they begin to turn golden, then let them cool directly on the baking sheets until they firm up. The glaze is optional, but it's easy to whip together while the cookies cool.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and half the cream cheese until combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons lemon zest until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes more. Beat in the egg until combined. Add flour mixture and beat until combined.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Portion the dough into 2-tablespoon scoops and arrange them on the sheets at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake, rotating halfway through baking, until the cookies are puffed and set and just beginning to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks until cookies are completely cooled.
- Meanwhile, prepare the optional glaze: Whisk together the remaining cream cheese with the confectioners' sugar, milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add additional lemon juice or milk until mixture forms the proper consistency for a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let cookies stand at room temperature until the glaze has set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the freezer for a month.

Steps:
- In the bowl of your stand mixer mix together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until combined and smooth. Add in the sugar and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix for 1 minute until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and using a medium (2- tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place onto the baking sheet 2- inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the the bottoms just begin to turn golden. Don't over-bake.
- When you remove the baking sheet form the oven, drop the sheet onto a counter or your stove top a few inches in the air 3-4 times. This will flatten the cookies slightly and make them dense, removing the air from the cookies, while also giving them a nice textured top.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, and zest until smooth. Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, and place back on the wired rack to set up.

CREAM CHEESE LEMON COOKIES
A piped cookie from Martha Stewart. These look great so I'm putting the recipe here for safe keeping. Martha had them piped into bows, but I'm sure any shape would work. I'm guessing on the yield since one was not given.
