A batch of freshly baked Cool Lemon Cookies with a light golden color and a soft, slightly chewy texture. The cookies are infused with fresh lemon zest and drizzled with a delicate lemon glaze. They are arranged on a rustic wooden table, with some stacked and others cooling on a wire rack. A small bowl of lemon glaze, fresh lemon slices, and a dusting of powdered sugar complete the bright and inviting presentation. Warm, natural lighting enhances the fresh, homemade feel.
