-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a food processor or blender, mix zest and granulated sugar together until it's well-combined.
-
Roll your cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Dip the bottom half of them into the zest/sugar mixture.
-
Arrange them on the cookie sheet, sugar-side down, spaced 3 inches apart. Dip a drinking glass in some flour and press the cookie balls flat until they are about 1/4 inch thick discs.
-
Bake for 8-12 minutes (use the suggested time on your cookie recipe), until they are just slightly brown on the edges (try not to overbake them). Let them cool completely.
-
While they cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of grapefruit juice. If it's too thick to drizzle, add the last Tablespoon, bit by bit. Whisk in one drop of food coloring if desired.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let set briefly before serving.
