    Ingredients
      

    Cookies

    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 2 Tbs. finely grated lemon zest
    • 1 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary or thyme leaves optional
    • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
    • 4 large egg yolks

    Glaze

    • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 Tbs. lemon juice or more as needed
    • Food coloring optional
    • Sanding sugar optional

    Instructions
     

    • Whisk flour and salt in a medium bowl.
    • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, sugar, lemon zest, herbs (if using) and vanilla in a large bowl, occasionally scraping down sides, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
    • Add egg yolks; beat just to blend.
    • Reduce speed to low: add flour mixture and beat, occasionally scraping down sides, just to blend.
    • Divide dough in half; roll each half into a 10-inch log about 1-3/4 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, about 1 hour (can be made a few days ahead).
    • Heat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
    • Unwrap a dough log. Using a sharp, lightly floured knife, slice log into 1/4-inch rounds. Transfer to baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
    • Bake until cookies are firm and golden brown around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for a minute then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough log.

    For Glaze

    • Whisk sugar and 2 Tbsp. juice in a small bowl, adding more juice in small amounts if the glaze is too thick. Add food coloring, if desired. Spread or drizzle icing over cookies. Decorate with sugar as desired.
    • Let stand at least 10 minutes to let icing set.
