Lemon Basil Tea Cookies

In a small bowl add dry basil, lemon juice and zest and let sit for 30 minutes.

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add lemon juice mixture and egg, beating until blended. Gradually add flour and beat until blended.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.

Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

To make the glaze add the powdered sugar , lemon juice and milk into a bowl and whisk. Glaze should be thin – if it is too thick add a little more milk. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let sit for about 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set
