~Directions:

Making the Cookies:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, and the lime juice. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, Beat together the coconut oil and the cane sugar for about a minute. 

Step 4: Add the citrus juices, the zests, vanilla extract and whisk together for a minute more, until combined.

Step 5: Add about half the flour, as well as the cornstarch, salt, and the baking powder, and mix well. 

Step 6: Add the remainder of the flour, and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 7: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheets in rounded spoonfuls. 

Step 8: Flatten the tops gently with your hands. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9: Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool.

Step 10: While the cookies are cooling make the glaze.

Making the Glaze: 

Step 11: In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, and the lime juice. Set aside.

Step 12: Place the powdered sugar in a large bowl and add the juice, vanilla extract and coconut oil and whisk together, until a thick and smooth but slightly liquidy glaze forms.*

Step 13: Drizzle the glaze across the cookies in several lines, then do it again in the other direction. 

Step 14: Sprinkle with the zests before the icing sets.

Step 15: Eat and Enjoy!

~Recipe Notes:

*If it is too liquidy than add a little bit of powdered sugar. If it is too thick add a little bit of juice. You are looking for a consistency that you can easily drizzle.

1) We like to add both the zests and the juices to enhance the flavor of the bright flavorful citrus cookie.

Enjoy!
