    List of Ingredients




    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)



    Recipe



    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.
