Ingredients

• 1 cup all
• purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
2. Add the cold butter cubes and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix just until the dough comes together.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 inch circles using a cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
6. Place the circles on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and remaining lemon juice to make the lemon glaze.
8. Remove the frozen snowballs from the freezer. Brush with the lemon glaze and return them to the freezer until ready to serve.
9. Serve cold on individual plates, garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dusting of zest.
