Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Cream the butter, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest
Add in the dry ingredients and the 1 Tbsp of almond milk; mix well
Roll out the dough (you can refrigerate for a little while if you like, but you don’t need to)
Use your favorite cookie cutter to cut the dough into whatever shape you’d like
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then place the cookies on the sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes (9 is perfect in my oven)
Let the cookies cool
Mix all the icing ingredients together; if too dry, add a tiny bit of extra lemon juice … if too think, add a little bit of extra powdered sugar
Spread a thin layer of icing on each cookie and, if you like, add your favorite sprinkles
