Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Lemon Glaze (Optional):
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more sugar or juice if needed.
Decorate and Serve:
Drizzle or dip the cooled cookies with the lemon glaze, and sprinkle with additional lemon zest if desired.
Allow the glaze to set for about 20 minutes before serving.
Tips:
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Make Ahead: The dough can be frozen for up to 1 month. Slice and bake directly from the freezer, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
Extra Zing: Add a pinch of lemon extract to the glaze for an extra citrus kick.
