Notes: Make-Ahead Tips
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, cover, and set aside. You can do this up to a day or two in advance. For the liquid ingredients, I sometimes like to group them all in the refrigerator or pantry (non-perishable things like the honey or extract) so I can take a quick glance and grab what I need.
The lemon glaze can also be made ahead, up to one day in advance, and kept in the refrigerator.
These lemon cookies freeze really well! I usually add a layer of wax paper in the storage container between layers of cookies to help keep them from sticking together. Just thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.
