Lemon Jumbles. YUM YUM YUM

My favorite Christmas Cookie.
A few years ago I took a Christmas Cookie Class. We made a ton of different cookies but this was my favorite and I make them every year now.

2 3/4 All purpose flour
1 tsp. cream of tarter
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 heaping tbsp. lemon zest
1 tbsp. lemon juice (i put in a little extra)

Mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

In mixer beat butter, sugar, egg, lemon zest and lemon juice until fluffy and well blended. Add the dry ingredients slowly until mixed well.

Roll into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 11-12 minutes or until the edges just turn golden brown. Place on cooling rack.

Once cooled dip in glaze and return to rack to dry.

For the Glaze-
Mix powder sugar and fresh lemon juice until you have a medium thickness.
