1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
2 cups chopped nuts |

1. Sift together first five ingredients; set aside. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, vanilla and lemon extract; beat well. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in nuts.
