Baking Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until combined.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the lemon extract.
• Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the tops spring back when gently touched.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
