Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • ⅔ cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 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.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies spring back when touched, 10 to 12 minutes.

Notes

Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freezing: Freeze the unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the bake time.
Customization: Add poppy seeds, white chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
