Ingredients
4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
2 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
Decorative icing and candies
Instructions
Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon and vanilla extracts, and salt. With a mixer on low speed, beat in flour in 2 additions until blended. Divide dough into thirds; shape each into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll 1 piece of dough at a time, on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters; re-roll scraps. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Cool on wire racks. Decorate as desired.
