Steps:
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the confectioners' sugar and butter. Add the lemon extract, vanilla extract and eggs, and mix until the eggs are incorporated. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition, and then add the zest. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thick. Use snowflake cookie cutters to cut out the cookies (25 to 30 cookies depending on the size) and place on the prepared sheets. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to cooling racks and cool to room temperature before decorating.
- Roll out the modeling chocolate using a pasta roller or heavy rolling pin to 1/8-inch thick. Using the same snowflake cookie cutter (wiped clean with a paper towel), cut out the snowflake shapes.
- For the syrup: Warm the corn syrup in the microwave, 20 to 30 seconds, then stir in the almond extract.
- Using a pastry brush, paint the top of a cookie with the syrup and immediately, but carefully, place a modeling chocolate snowflake on top. Position the modeling chocolate carefully before setting on a cookie, as it will stick very quickly. Rub your fingers over the edges gently to secure the modeling chocolate. Repeat for the remaining cookies.
- Use the remaining syrup to decorate the cookies. Paint a design, the edges or the entire surface of the cookies, and top with nonpareils, sanding sugar, crystal sugar or other decorations.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. - If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice per lemon called for in the recipe. - Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the cookies. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies be light and airy. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. - Stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape. - Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly. - Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Conclusion:
Lemon snowflakes are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a burst of lemon flavor. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
