Description
Deliciously soft and tangy gluten-free lemon cookies topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick unsalted butter – softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour with the baking soda and baking powder and set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing the batter after you add each egg. Then add in the greek yogurt and lemon juice and mix.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, until the flour is fully incorporated into the dough. Note: the dough is fairly thick so you may need to use your hands to mix it.
- Working in batches, drop the dough into 1-inch diameter circles and lightly press down on each one.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Mix up the glaze by combining all of the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and thick like vanilla frosting. Note: If the glaze looks too thin then add more powdered sugar. If it looks too thick then add a little bit more milk.
- Once the cookies have cooled, generously glaze each one and top with sprinkles. Make sure to add the sprinkles while the icing is wet so they stick better.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The dough is fairly thick, so you may need to use your hands to mix it.
- Add more powdered sugar if the glaze is too thin, or add more milk if it is too thick.
