Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the refrigerated dough sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, break up the softened cookie dough and add cream cheese, flour, and 2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel. Mix until smooth.
- Form the dough into 36 balls, placing them 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks.
- Make the glaze by combining powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency with more lemon juice if needed.
- Frost each cooled cookie with the glaze and sprinkle with remaining grated lemon peel.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth blend. Avoid reducing flour too much to maintain cookie structure. Watch bake time to prevent drying out.
