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.
