Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tbsp lemon zest (about 3 medium lemons)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/3 tbsp lemon juice (squeeze from the lemons just zested)
2 tsp lemon zest

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°F
In large bowl, beat butter and 1 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, cornstarch, lemon zest and vanilla until well blended.
Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls and place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and flatten a little.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown. Remove carefully from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl. Stir in additional juice if necessary, or powdered sugar to thicken.
Dip the tops of the cooled cookies in icing and place on the parchment paper that you baked the cookies on, to harden.
