Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until combined.
- Cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by the zest of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop out portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Whisk together 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Glaze the cookies and immediately sprinkle with colorful Easter sprinkles.
- Allow the glazed cookies to sit at room temperature until the icing has hardened, about 30 minutes.
