Lemon Shortbread Cookies

"Buttery and tangy with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, these Lemon Shortbread Cookies only have 6 simple ingredients and taste like sunshine. Once you make the dough, you’ll roll it out, cut it into rectangles, and bake until golden. They’re finished with a sugary lemon zest topping for a final pop of citrus flavor. You’ll get lots of citrus flavor from both lemon zest and lemon juice blended into a classic buttery shortbread dough. More lemon zest is combined with sugar and flaky salt for a sweet and tart topping to these little gems. This Lemon Shortbread recipe has a bright citrus flavor contrasted by the buttery dough. Because shortbread doesn’t contain any leavening agents, the cookies have a wonderful tenderness that melts in your mouth with each bite."
