In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, zest and salt.

In a large bowl, beat on medium speed the butter and sugar until fluffy, 3-5 minutes.

Then add half the flour and the lemon juice and beat to combine.

Then add the remaining flour and with a wooden spoon or spatula combine to form a dough.

Transfer the dough to a large piece of parchment paper and roll the dough into a log approximately 1 ½ inches wide.

Wrap the dough in the parchment paper and refrigerate for one hour.

Remove the dough from the fridge and cut into ½ inch slices.

Place the slices on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Pre-heat oven to 320F.

Bake the cookies for 5 minutes.

Then raise the oven temperature to 350F and continue to bake for 9-10 minutes.

The cookies should be light gold in colour.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

The cookies can be either dusted with powdered sugar or spread with a lemon glaze.

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, powdered sugar and zest until smooth.
