Ingredients

    Cookie:

    Butter, salted, 1 cup
    Egg, fresh, whole, raw, 2 large
    *Flour, white, 3 cup
    Granulated Sugar, 1 cup
    Baking Soda, .5 tsp
    Salt, 1 tsp
    McCormick's Lemon extract, 1 tsp
    almond extract, 1 tsp

    Icing:

    Combine 2 c. powdered sugar with 4 TB butter, 2 Tsp. lemon extract and just enough water to create a paste.

    note: You will probably only use 1/2 of the icing....the recipe makes enough for 2 batches.

Tips

The total calories was calculated WITHOUT the icing.
So for those of you watching your calorie and sugar count, it's a nice treat. Although the icing is zesty and delicious, I think these cookies have the consistency of a light shortbread, and don't need the icing.


Directions

Using a handheld mixer, cream butter & sugar together. Add eggs, both extracts combining well. Then add dry ingredients a small amount at a time till all ingredients form a smooth cookie dough.

Now roll a 1" ball of cookie dough in your hands and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press your thumb lightly into the center of the cookie. Repeat until all cookie dough is gone.

Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove sheet from oven and place cookies onto a mat to cool.

If using the icing, spread a touch of icing onto the top of the cookie while the cookie is still warm.

Serving Size: Makes 60 cookies
