3 lemons, zested and juiced (1/3 cup juice) |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup whole milk |
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325. Whisk together flour and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in eggs. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture. Slowly add milk, and beat on med. speed for 5 minutes.
2. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 in tip (I use a ziplock with a whole cut in the corner!).Pipe 1 1/2 inch rounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until bottoms are pale gold, 16-18 minutes. LEt cool completely on sheets.
3. Whisk together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Brush glaze onto cookies and sprinkle with coarse sanding sugar.
