These tender cutout cookies have a slight lemon flavor that makes them stand out from the rest. They're very easy to roll out compared to other sugar cookies I've worked with. I know you'll enjoy them as much as we do. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/4 cup milk |
2 teaspoons lemon extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
colored crystal sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk and extract. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
2. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.
3. Bake at 350° for 8-9 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 13 dozen.
