Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Put the butter, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and mix until just combined.
- Scoop the dough with a 2-ounce cookie scoop, filling it fully with the dough. Then shape it into a straight-sided patty (like a hockey puck) that is 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Put the formed cookie on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to make 7 to 8 more cookies and making sure there is at least 1 inch of space around each cookie on the baking sheet.
- Bake until the cookies have spread out and flattened by about half and the bottoms are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through the cooking time. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Flip your cookies upside down so the flattest side is up. Use the yellow icing to make a thin line around the edge of each cookie. Then make 2 loops around the interior of the yellow border with the white icing and use a toothpick to fill in any gaps between the two colors. Fill in the middle space with the yellow icing and then make a circle with the white directly in the center. Immediately use a scribe or toothpick to lightly drag from the edge of the cookie to the middle to create the segments of your lemon. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Let the icing dry and crust over or serve immediately.
MOM'S LEMON SUGAR COOKIES

LEMON-FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES
I was looking to make sugar cookies for an event and disappointed to not find a relatively healthy version here. So now I'm adding one. This one began as a Cooking Light recipe and includes my adjustments. Not your typical sugar cookie, the wheat germ gives these a pale brown color and a nuttiness that contrasts nicely with the lemon glaze. The dough needs to chill at least four hours and does best if chilled overnight, so you need to plan ahead with this one.

Steps:
- To prepare cookies, beat Splenda, sugar, yogurt and butter in a large bowl at medium speed of a mixer until well blended (about 4 minutes).
- Add egg, egg whites, lemon zest and vanilla beating well.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, mixing well. Spoon dough into a sealable bag, flatten to 1 1/2-inch disc and chill 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Roll dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a heavily floured surface. Cut dough into 20 (3-inch) squares using a sharp knife. If the dough gets very soft in this stage, return to the fridge to chill again to retain firmness. Too much flour will end with a tough cookie.
- Alternately, use your favorite cookie cutters to make shapes; note this may change the yield and nutritional value per cookie.
- Place cookies 2-inches apart on baking sheets prepared with a light coat of cooking spray.
- Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove cookies from pans using a wide spatula, and cool on wire rack.
- To make icing, combine powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. If the icing seems too thick, add a bit more lemon juice to thin. Stir in food coloring, if desired. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the icing over each 3-inch cookie, or place icing in a small zip-top plastic bag or pastry bag and tip. If using disposible bag, trim a tiny hole in one corner, and drizzle icing over cookies.
- If the icing seems to be too thick you can add more lemon juice (which will make the icing more tart) or you can add a little more milk (which keeps the flavor more neutral).
- Sprinkle with assorted sugar sprinkles or other decorations, if desired.

SPARKLY LEMON COOKIES
A one-bite wonder, they measure less than two inches across but these cakey cookies don't skim on lemony flavor. A sweet-tart glaze and coarse sanding sugar adds a gentle sparkle.This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection" (Clarkson Potter).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in eggs until combined. Gradually add flour mixture and beat on low until just combined. Slowly add milk and beat on medium until a dough forms, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip (such as Ateco #806). Pipe 1 1/2-inch rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until bottoms of cookies are pale golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Using a pastry brush, brush glaze onto cookies. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let glaze harden, about 20 minutes. (Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.)
OLD-FASHIONED LEMON SUGAR COOKIES
These large 3 1/4 inch cookies have a wonderful lemon flavor and a chewy texture. I prefer them without the sugar glaze, but it makes a classic cookie base for holiday frosting. I can't remember where I found this gem, I have modified it some. Our family has looked for a good sugar cookie recipe for years and just loves this one. I find that chilling the cookie dough before baking really helps in maintaining a "classic" shape during baking, but be sure to press the cookie before placing in the oven or they will be "gooey" in the center. I like to use an ice cream scoop that I found at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a consistent volume. It is just slightly larger than 1 tablespoon. Perfect for these cookies. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

- In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the egg and egg yolk and mix until combined. Add in the vanilla and lemon extracts and lemon zest. Slowly add in the flour, and do not overmix. The dough may be crumbly, but that is okay! Knead the dough together by hand on a floured surface until it is smooth (dough should be pliable, and not sticky), and then roll it out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out the cookies with desired cookie cutter shapes, and place onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Decorate with the Royal icing once cooled.
