Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more lemon juice; if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before serving.
