Delicious lemon sugar cookies with a fresh lemon glaze and lemon zest on top. These cookies are soft and stay soft. They make a great freezer cookie! When I initially shared this recipe, I used a combination of lemon extract and bottled lemon juice to get a full flavored lemon cookie with no lemon zest. I changed the recipe to include lemon zest and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Don’t have fresh lemons? Add 1 teaspoon lemon extract to the cookie dough.
