In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and light in color, about 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and zest along with the thyme, continue mixing until combined. 

Slowly add the flour and salt and mix just until a dough ball is formed. Scrape down the sides when needed.

Using a 1” cookie scoop place 12 cookies on a lined sheet pan. Lightly press down on the top until you have a uniform thickness through the whole cookie, about ¾” thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are light brown. Let the cookies cool on sheet pans for 2 minutes then transfer to cooling rack. Let the cookies cool completely.

To make the glaze, add all of the ingredients into a small mixing bowl then whisk together until smooth. ​

Spread a thin coat over all of the cooled cookies and garnish with the lemon zest and thyme. Let the glaze set then move to a storage container.
