1/2 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 large egg 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional) Frosting: 1 cup confectioners (powdered) sugar 5-6 teaspoons water 1-2 drops food coloring (optional) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets. 2. In a large bowl, mix the butter, sugar, egg and lemon extract. 3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Divide the dough into two parts. Chill 1 - 2 hours so it will be easy to handle. 4. Roll half the dough out on a floured surface until it is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Keep the other half chilled until ready to use. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. 5. To Frost: Blend the confectioners sugar and water in a small bowl. Add food coloring if desired. For a thin layer of frosting, brush on while the cookies are still warm. For a thicker frosting, let the cookies cool and frost with a knife. ENJOY! |
