Receta Easy Glazed Lemon Ginger Cookies

by Renee@MKA

Picnics, summer parties and just because...these Easy Glazed Lemon Ginger Cookies will be your "go-to" cookie recipe! Lemony flavored cookies are studded with candied ginger for a pop of flavor! If you asked me what was my favorite thing to make in my kitchen, the answer would be COOKIES! No matter whether it's the dead of winter or the dog days of summer, you'll find me baking homemade cookies. These Easy Glazed Lemon Ginger Cookies are a family favorite! They are super easy to make (no dough chilling required) and they combine two of our favorite flavors...lemon and ginger. Lemon and Ginger are perfect partners! I love the combination of lemon and ginger together in tea and candy, so why not cookies? I found the base of this recipe over on Martha Stewart's site and made a few adjustments and voila! These cookies were born.  Test them out for yourself! Not only are the simple to make, but they are very portable too!  The perfect bring-along to all those summer BBQ's, pool parties and gatherings.  I'll be baking up another batch soon.  Not for any particular occasion, but because they happen to be my husband's new favorite sweet treat! And he doesn't even have a sweet tooth! They are that good!  Bake some up tonight.  yield: 24 servingsAuthor: Renee Pajprint recipe Easy Glazed Lemon Ginger Cookies Tart lemon cookies are studded with candied ginger and bathed in a lemon icing! prep time: 10 MINScook time: 15 MINStotal time: 25 mins INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 TBS fresh lemon juice 2 TBS lemon zest 1 large egg, room temperature is best 2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 cup finely chopped candied ginger For the Glaze 2 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
