Ingredients:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1.25 cup shortening
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Beat shortening with electric mixer on medium to high speed 30 seconds. Add 2 cups sugar. Beat til combined, scraping sides of bowl.
  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and lemon extract/peel.
  4. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk alternatively to creamed mixture, scarping down sides of bowl as necessary. Cover and chill at least 4 hours. Meanwhile, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside. For each cookie, use a 1/4 cup measure or 1/4 cup ice cream scoop (if use ice-cream scoop, lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray to help prevent dough from sticking). Roll each scoop of dough in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat. Place 3" apart on cookie sheet. With palm of hand, gently press down cookie to 1/2" thickness.
  6. Bake cookies 12-14 min or til bottoms are light gold. Transfer to rack. They bake more evenly if you bake one batch at a time.
