Time 1h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon lemon extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until combined. Blend in lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla.
  • Stir flour and salt into butter mixture. Transfer mixture to waxed paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log (for slicing cookies) or shape into a disk (for using cutters); wrap dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using a 2-inch round cutter and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. (Or slice cookies and arrange on baking sheets). Gather and reroll dough scraps.
  • Bake in preheated oven until edges are pale golden, but not browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand on baking sheet 2 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool completely.
