Lemon Glazed Funfetti Sugar Cookies

Lemon Glazed Funfetti Sugar Cookies are a soft sugar cookie dipped into a tart, sweet lemon glaze and decorated with colorful sprinkles.

Raise your hand if you love cookies. Keep it raised if you love homemade cookies and keep it up if you’ve ever eaten cookies for breakfast. Great – I know I’m in good company now (insert wink).

If I owned a restaurant I would have one or two signature cookies on my dessert menu all the time. So many times, when we are out to eat I just want a little something sweet after a good meal. And while I love great desserts like molten chocolate cake or tiramisu, the truth is most of the time I just want a couple of really good homemade cookies.

This recipe is a basic sugar cookie recipe but what makes it extra special is the lemon glaze. And if you follow a lot of my recipes, you already know I am obsessed with anything and everything lemon. Which is exactly why I dipped these basic sugar cookies into a tart, tangy, sweet lemon glaze.
