Betz's Good Sugar Cookies
Tricia Weimer
"This recipe has been handed down from my great-great grandmother at least. We're not sure how far it goes back, but does go back to the early 1900's at least."

Ready In
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture to form a soft dough. Cover or wrap dough, and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll the dough out 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

Not very kid friendly because of the need for more flour than the recipe calls for. A little common sense and creativity helped me out with this one. Baked with a little grape jelly in the middl...

This was a yummy cookie! The Lemon extract really made a difference. I made two batches, one with butter and one with margarine. I would highly recommend using margarine. Although the dough was ...
