Make the cookies
2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4 Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in lemon zest.
6 Add eggs and fully mix, about 1 minute. Add the dry ingredient mixture in slowly on low speed. Mix until fully incorporated and the flour is completely absorbed.
8 Sprinkle flour on the surface of the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be very sticky. For a log the length of the baking sheet. Press down until the log is about a 1/2 inch high.
10 Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the log is firm and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.
12 Drop oven temperature to 300°F. Once log is done resting, use a serrated knife to slice the log into 1 inch cookies, diagonally. Arrange cookies flat side down and bake for 10 minutes. Once done on one side, flip cookies on the other side and bake another 10 minutes. You can stop here if you want your cookies to be chewier, or bake another 10 minutes on each side for crunchier cookies! Once you have reached the desired consistency, remove from oven and allow to cool completely on cooling rack.
Make the glaze
16 Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until smooth. Use more or less powdered sugar to change the thickness of the glaze. Apply glaze however you'd like, and to add a pop of color sprinkle with excess lemon zest.
