Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Sift or whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl.
- Place butter in a large mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until very creamy. Add confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and flour mixture; mix until well combined.
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a round cookie cutter. Transfer cookies to ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are light brown on the bottom but still very light on top, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Whisk melted butter and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Add lemon zest and whisk again. Whisk in confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time. Add more lemon juice if necessary for a thin consistency.
- Dip the top of each cookie in the glaze and transfer to a wire rack placed over waxed paper or parchment paper. Allow cookies to sit until glaze has set, about 2 hours.
- Store cookies in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper.

- Add the flour, salt, and McCormick® Dried Thyme Leaves, and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and use the parchment to roll the dough into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the log crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds. Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cookies in the icing or spread the icing over the cookies, then return to the wire rack. Zest the lemon lightly over each cookie. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
