Gather all your ingredients on the counter to streamline your baking process.

In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in egg yolks one at a time along with vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add sifted flour while mixing gently. Fold in dried fruits and lemon zest until evenly distributed.

Form the dough into logs or balls, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice chilled dough into rounds and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.

While cookies cool, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.

Once cooled, drizzle glaze over each cookie and let set before serving.
