• In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Mix well with an electric mixer until creamy and combined. Add in lemon juice and mix again.
  1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/3 cup bottled or fresh lemon juice
• In a separate bowl, stir together (with a spoon) the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat with an electric mixer until well incorporated and a dough forms. Cover or wrap the dough and refrigerate for an hour.
  3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut with a small circle cutter (I used 1.5-inch). Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets and bake at 400 for about 8 minutes. Remove to cool.

To make glaze

• Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a spoon until lumps disappear. Spoon a little bit into the center of each cooled cookie and spread it around with the back of a spoon. Make more glaze if needed. Allow to dry for an hour or so and then stack cookies and store in a cookie jar.
  1.5 cups confectioner's sugar, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, few drops yellow food coloring
