Lemon Glazed Sugar Cookies

These are for all of the lemon fans out there, one being myself! These are also for cookie fans, glaze fans, and basically delicious dessert fans. So everyone! Free of gluten and eggs, these soft and sweet cookies can also be made vegan and/or without protein powder. Those options are listed in the notes section at the bottom of the recipe.
