- Add the confectioners sugar and lemon peel,continuing to beat until combined.
- Beat in the egg and lemon extract.
- Beat in as much of the flour as you can using your mixer. When no longer able, use a large wooden spoon to mix in the rest by hand.
- Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- After chilling, take each disk and roll into a 12 inch long log. Snip each log into 24 1/2 inch pieces.
- Take each cookie nugget and roll into an 8 inch long rope. Form a pretzel shape by bringing the piece together to form a circle with about a 1 inch tails on either side. Take each of the ends and cross it over the circle and attach to the opposite side. Press lightly to seal.
- Place the pretzels 2 inches apart on baking sheets lightly treated with cooking spray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. remove from pan and let cookies cool on a rack.
- To prepare the glaze, mix together the confectioners sugar, lemon juice and enough water to achieve a glaze consistency. Brush each cookie with the glaze. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
- Let stand until glaze has set.
