-grate both the lemons and keep the juice. the zest is what gives the strong citrus flavour bcs of the aromatic oils in the rind

after it’s thoroughly mixed, add the egg and lemon juice. the batter will curdle but don’t worry that’s just the chemistry behind it. the outcome won’t be affected at all https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏻" title="Thumbs up (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏻" title="Thumbs up (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏻" title="Thumbs up (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (light skin tone)">
-the colouring is just to make the inside of the cookie pop but it really isn’t necessary

after mixing that, add the flour. *AND SALT AND BAKING POWDER. i totally forgot to include them in this diagram.. sorry ;(
once all these ingredients are incorporated, your batter should be smooth.

you can scoop the batter with an ice cream scoop or roll them with your hands, u do u but please freeze them for at least 20 minutes.
this is to prevent them for spreading too much in the oven later on.

bake them in a preheated oven at 180°c for 15 minutes. make sure u monitor them bcs these cookies are like humans. sometimes.... unpredictable https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😐" title="Neutral face" aria-label="Emoji: Neutral face">

optional step. this ones up to you.
oh and let ur cookies chill for a bit before pouring the glaze on top. okay that is all :D
