Lemon Candy Cookies

Cookie:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1 (4 ounce) package lemon candies, crushed

Glaze:
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Put sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add butter and mix until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Mix in eggs one at a time. Then add vanilla and lemon extract. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Stir in crushed lemon candies.

Roll into 1inch balls. Flatten slightly and bake on baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until edges start to brown and center is almost set. Let cool completely.

Make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice. Spread over cookie tops.
