Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the fridge and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Do not overbake.
Cool the Cookies:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Lemon Glaze (Optional):
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more sugar or juice as needed.
Glaze the Cookies:
Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Let the glaze set for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
Serve and Enjoy:
These cookies are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee and make a lovely gift!
