Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and both extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Fill a cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturer?s directions; press the dough 1 1/2 inches apart onto unlined baking sheets. Decorate with sanding sugar and/or nonpareils.
- Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, 14 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
LEMON CREAM CHEESE COOKIES
Chewy and sweet, these simple cookies are heavenly with a cup of tea - and a lavish dose of fresh lemon zest provides some pluck. Cream cheese is the star ingredient in both the cookie and its glaze, and performs two tasks: It imparts tanginess and contributes to the soft texture. These cookies are simple but delicate, so you'll want to pull them from the oven as soon as they begin to turn golden, then let them cool directly on the baking sheets until they firm up. The glaze is optional, but it's easy to whip together while the cookies cool.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and half the cream cheese until combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons lemon zest until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes more. Beat in the egg until combined. Add flour mixture and beat until combined.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Portion the dough into 2-tablespoon scoops and arrange them on the sheets at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake, rotating halfway through baking, until the cookies are puffed and set and just beginning to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks until cookies are completely cooled.
- Meanwhile, prepare the optional glaze: Whisk together the remaining cream cheese with the confectioners' sugar, milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add additional lemon juice or milk until mixture forms the proper consistency for a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let cookies stand at room temperature until the glaze has set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the freezer for a month.

CREAM CHEESE-LEMON SPRITZ COOKIES
Cookies and Tarts, Week 10, March 29 These cookies are so tender and delicious! They have a very zesty, lemony flavor, only enhanced by the slightly sour tang of the cream cheese. If you don't want too much lemon flavor, simply omit the unsweetened lemonade mix. You can also use a dough gun if you have one to make some different shapes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar. Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl mix into butter mixture on low speed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small amount of the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Holding tip very close to the surface, pipe a 2 inch rosette onto baking sheet. Refill pastry bag as needed with remaining dough. (If your dough feels too stiff to pipe, you can scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop, and roll into balls and flatten with the greased bottom of a glass cup)
- Bake cookies until golden brown on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
- Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a large plastic bag and shake to mix.
- When the cookies are removed from the oven and while they are still hot, add 4 or 5 at a time to the bag and shake it until the cookies are well coated. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
