Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the cream mixture. Continue mixing until everything is fully integrated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch to the wet mixture. Stir slowly until just combined.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using about 1.5 tablespoons of chilled dough for each cookie, roll them into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, additional lemon juice, and milk for the glaze until smooth yet pourable.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cookie and allow it to set for about 10-15 minutes.
