I found this recipe on a new recipe blog that I L.O.V.E. I was hesitant to make them because I wasn't sure they would be good--judging only by how quick and easy they sounded. (I usually don't make sugar cookies because they take too much time--refrigerating the dough, rolling them out, making shapes,etc.) I used almond extract because that is what I had, but next time I will use lemon. I love lemon cookies. I actually didn't use the recipe for the glaze, because I had some leftover cream cheese frosting, but I'm sure it would be good too.
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. almond OR lemon extract
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Glaze:
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. almond or lemon extract
4-5 tsp. milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix butter, sugar and extract in a large bowl. Mix well, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients. Beat 1 to 2 more minutes. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and flatten balls to 1/4 inch thickness with the bottom of a floured glass dipped in sugar.
Bake at for 7-9 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. I like mine almost under-baked; they stiffen up as they cool. Cool 1 minute.
