  • 1 c sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 t.lemon extract or vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 t baking soda

  • 1/2 cup sugar to roll cookies in before baking

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place butter, sugar and egg yokes in medium bowl and cream together until light and fluffy. I put these ingredients in my stand mixer and let it beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes.Add in extract, baking soda and salt and mix until incorporated. Slowly add flour and blend until flour is completely incorporated into batter.
  • Roll dough into balls about the size of a large walnut then roll into sugar and place on baking sheet. Gently flatten cookies with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be pale and you do not want to over bake them. Remove from cookie sheets and allow to cool on wire rack.
  • Store in airtight container.
