These Zesty Lemon Bliss Cookies are a delightful treat, combining a soft, buttery texture with a tangy lemon glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Add the flour, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until a soft dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Shape the dough into small balls, about 3/4 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the glaze.
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more sugar or juice.
Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze and place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Let the glaze set completely before storing the cookies.
Serve the cookies on a platter and enjoy the delightful lemon flavor.
Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra flair.
