Step 8: The sneaky-deaky step- the icing
While your cookies are baking, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice in a small bowl
Step 9: Take your cookies out, ice them, and plate them
The cookies should be slightly golden on the top and a bit darker on the bottom
Once they come out of the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes
Once they’re cool, either drizzle the icing over the top of them or dip them in the icing
Sprinkle sprinkles on top for decoration
