Lemon Shortbread Cookies

"These Lemon Shortbread Cookies are buttery, tender, and with the perfect citrus taste. Made in a tart pan and cut into wedges, they couldn't be any easier or quicker to make. Perfect for the holidays for Summer gatherings. Made with hand-held beaters or a stand mixer, the lemon dough comes together quickly. It's then pressed and flattened into the base of a fluted pan. This gives the edges a really pretty scalloped pattern. Once baked and cut into wedges, the Lemon Shortbread Cookies can be sprinkled with lemon sugar or topped with a tangy lemon glaze. You choose. Both options are great. These make the perfect cookies alongside your tea."
