Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon extract
½ teaspoon orange extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and orange extract together in another bowl. Add egg yolk mixture to butter mixture; beat well.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! The citrus flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cookies. They were also very easy to make, and I loved that I could use ingredients that I already had on hand.
