¾cupground golden flaxseed
1tablespoongrated lemon rindA Microplane grater is recommended for this
2tablespoonfreshly squeezed lemon juice
2tablespoonwater
For the frosting glaze:
1 ¾cupspowdered sugar
4tablespoonfreshly squeezed lemon juice
½tablespoongrated lemon rindAgain, a microplane grater works best to create fine zest
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 mins.
Add egg and beat to combine.
Add cake mix, flaxseed, 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind, lemon juice, and water. Beat until thick but smooth.
Drop batter by tablespoon size balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I use a small cookie scoop with a handle for this).
Bake until the surface is puffed and slightly cracked, about 13 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool completely and make the frosting glaze. In a medium-size bowl, stir 1 tablespoon lemon rind, 4 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and powdered sugar with a whisk until smooth.
Using a pastry brush, coat cooled cookies with frosting glaze and allow to set until dry, about 20 minutes.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze.
Notes
This recipe makes 36 small (using a tablespoon size scoop) and 28 medium-size cookies (using a 1.25 tablespoon size scoop).
