Delicious soft lemon cookies with a glaze. I make my glaze with a little lemon juice but you can use milk if you want it sweeter.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
⅓ cup lemon juice

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in the well. Mix and knead until a dough forms.
Roll into balls and flatten with the heel of your hand or anything with a flat surface. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 8 minutes for a softer cookie, 10 to 12 minutes for a crispier cookie. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
While cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and glaze cookies however you like.
