Ingredients

• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

While cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and glaze cookies however you like.
