Ingredients

FOR THE GLAZE:

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 cup fine coconut, plus a little extra for garnish
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil and a few drops of yellow food colouring
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
Zest from 1 lemon
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup softened butter

Method

01

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line 2 (or 4 if you have them) 11×13 inch baking sheets with parchment paper.
02

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and, if using, the lemon oil and food coloring and beat to combine.
03

Add the flour, coconut, baking powder, and sea salt and beat until just combined.
04

Scoop cookie dough using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or cookie scoop and roll into a ball. Press down the tops so you have 3-inch rounds. Bake the cookies, 2 sheets at a time, for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
05

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Once the cookies have cooled completely, pour the glaze over top and sprinkle with a little coconut.
