    Spring is finally here and it’s time to celebrate with some sweet treats! One of my most favorite flavors to bake with during the spring and summer seasons is the irresistible fresh flavor of lemon. No other flavor pairs as perfectly with the sweet scent of flowers blooming and fresh air blowing in as the light refreshing taste of those delectable lemon-y delights! 

    Now I love to go all out with my baked lemon sweets. But I know that some people prefer just a light lemon flavor or even just a hint of it paired with other treat flavors like vanilla. Whether you like just a hint of lemon or you want an all-out lemon treat, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you to try! 

    My easy Lemon Glaze for Cookies and Bundt Cakes is the perfect lemon-y addition to any kind of treat! This easy lemon glaze is perfect for cookies, cakes, cupcakes, spring blondies, doughnuts, or whatever else you want to add a little luscious lemon flavor to. Here’s how to make my easy lemon glaze!

    To make an easy lemon glaze, all you need is: powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, a mixing bowl, and a whisk. First, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a large glass mixing bowl. Then, mix the glaze ingredients with a blending whisk until the glaze is shiny and the ingredients are completely combined. Finally, pour the glaze into a jar for storage or use to decorate cooled cookies or bundt cakes.

    Lemon Glaze Storage

    To store lemon glaze: first, transfer it to a jar or airtight container. Store the glaze in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring the glaze back to room temperature and whisk again before using. If needed, add a few drops of additional lemon juice. Always label the date on the outside of the container to keep up with freshness.

    How much lemon juice is in one lemon?

    One medium-sized lemon typically yields about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice.

    • 1 lemon = 1 tbsp lemon zest
    • 1 lemon = 2-3 tbsp lemon juice

    If you’re looking for a lemon extract alternative, you can use:

    • 1 tsp of lemon extract = 2 tsp of lemon zest

    For a step-by-step guide on how to extract lemon juice and zest, check out my video tutorial How to Get Perfect Lemon Zest
