Combine all ingredients except flour and lemon glaze; beat with mixer until well blended. Beat in flour. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour. On a well floured surface, knead one dough portion into a smooth ball. Roll dough to 1/8 thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 7-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool. Repeat with dough scraps and remaining dough. Decorate with lemon glaze.
Tip: Fill small plastic sandwich bag with glaze. Snip corner of bag and drizzle over cookies. Use edible decorations as desired. These are so tasty at Easter. Use food coloring in the glaze.
