Lemon Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting



1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon milk
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
 roll into balls, place on cookie sheet. Bake about 11 - 13 minutes or until done
For the frosting:
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 lb. powdered sugar
pinch of salt
fresh lemon juice

These are wonderful cookies!  Of course anything with butter and lemon is yum!  I didn't have cream cheese for the frosting, so just made a thick lemon, butter and powdered sugar glaze and they were great! I put it on while they were still warm.
