Step 1
1. Make the cookies. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter using a mixer. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat. Add eggs, one at a time. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix. Then add half of the milk and mix. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk, ending with the last 1/3 of flour. Mix in finely grated lemon zest or lemon juice and vanilla extract. Do not overmix.

4. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the water and honey to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add half of the mixture to the sugar. Whisk until smooth, gradually incorporating the remaining honey mixture, one teaspoon at a time. Mix in the vanilla. Add the honey mixture very slowly to prevent the glaze from becoming too runny. Fill a small piping bag with the glaze.
