Ingredients: 1 ¾ cup / 245g all-purpose flour (preferably organic); ¼ teaspoon medium grain kosher salt; ¼ teaspoon baking powder (preferably aluminum free); ¾ cups (1 ½ sticks) / 170g unsalted butter (softened); ⅔ cup / 133g sugar; 1 large egg, at room temperature (preferably pasture-raised and/or organic); 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons lemon zest ((optional, add the zest if you want a tiny hint of lemon to your sugar cookies)); 2 cups / 240g powdered sugar (sifted); 2 large egg whites (I always use super fresh, pasture-raised eggs especially when making this. Do not skimp on the quality of your eggs. The eggs can be cold for this.); 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (a little more or a little less depending on the dryness of the day ); food coloring (I use a mix of high quality food coloring gel and natural dye)
