Ingredients

1 cup Butter -room temperature
½ cups Sugar Free Powdered Sugar -see post for details and alternatives
¼ cup Cornstarch
1 ½ cups Flour
1 tbsp Lemon Zest

For the icing

1 cup Sugar Free Powdered Sugar
2 ½ tbsp Lemon Juice - adjusted as needed

Instructions

Use a stand mixer to beat your butter until smooth, light and fluffy. This process can take a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a smaller bowl, use a whisk to combine together the sugar free powdered sugar, cornstarch, flour, and lemon zest.
When the butter is done beating, you can scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and then add the dry ingredients from the smaller bowl to the mixing bowl.
Next, beat the mixture until you have soft dough, scraping down the sides of the dough as needed. The dough should be able to stick together when pressed into a ball when it is ready.
Wrap the dough to plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours to overnight.
When you are ready to bake the cookies, remove the dough from your refrigerator and prepare a lightly floured work surface.
Also, preheat your oven to 350 and prep a rimmed baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Unwrap the cookie dough and roll in out on the floured work space to about ¼ to ½" thick.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut out each of the cookies and then place the cookies about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minute or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
Transfer the cooled cookies to a cooling rack with the bottom sides (flat sides) of the cookies facing up.
To make the icing, simply combine together the remaining sugar free powdered sugar with the lemon juice until your reach a soft consistency.
You may need to make adjustments as needed to get your desired consistency.
Use a spoon to coat the cookies with the icing.
When the icing has fully set you can enjoy or store your cookies.
