Ready In
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; gradually beat into creamed butter mixture until just combined. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into butter-flour mixture until dough is thoroughly mixed; stir in lemon extract. Drop small scoops of dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cookies spring back when touched, 10 to 12 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You can add a lemon glaze for more flavor if you'd like, or even add lemon zest to make the lemon stand out more.

OK, now I wish I had read the reviews first. The temp is way too high...I'd go with 350 and check after 7 min. I too used zest in batter along with subbing real juice instead of extract. I'd ...

I just won "best tasting" at the Christmas cookie exchange with this recipe and these changes: I did use the 350 degree oven and baked until edges started turning golden, about 7 minutes. Did ...

Needs more lemon (zest of 1 lemon was good), and I baked for 11 minutes at 350. I used a lemon glaze (1 c p. sugar, 1 Tbsp melted butter, a lemon juice to make it thin enough). They were barely ...

These were not super sweet - kind of subtle, which I like. We did not have lemon extract so I mixed the zest of one lemon with 1.5 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp lemon juice and let that sit whil...
