These lemon cookies are very rich and satisfying! They taste best when taken out of the oven right as the edges turn brown.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup lemon juice

Icing:

1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
Cream butter and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in lemon juice. Add flour mixture gradually, beating well after each addition.
Form dough into a log shape and wrap with waxed paper. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Slice chilled dough into roughly 1/8-inch slices. Place onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Frost cooled cookies.
