Ingredients
1 cup salted butter, softened in a cold room
1 egg
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
½ t. lemon extract or 5-6 drops food grade lemon oil
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In mixing bowl, cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and extracts until just blended.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt, and add to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
Do not chill dough.
Divide dough into 2 balls.
On a surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 in. wide and a wee bit thicker than ¼ in. thick.
Dip cookie cutter in powdered sugar before each use.
Place cookies on parchment paper on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 5-6 minutes or until cookies are just barely lightly browned at the bottom edge.
Frost with buttercream or royal icing when fully cooled.
Notes
If the edges of the cookies spread, and look "chubby", you can grab the cookie cutters, and re-cut them as soon as you remove them from the oven.
