• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, or about 3 minutes. Slowly add the egg and lemon zest. Mix on low, scraping the bowl as needed to make sure it is all mixed.
• Add the flour and baking powder and mix just until completely combined. Do not overmix.
• Using spoons or a small ice cream scoop, scoop 1" balls, place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 3 inches apart and then flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once completely cool, use a spoon to drizzle the the glaze, then let the glaze set at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before storing or eating. Enjoy!
