Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Mix together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until it’s very creamy.
Next, mix in the egg and the lemon extract.
Grab another bowl and in this bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix it up well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your cookie sheet.
Bake these for about 9 - 10 minutes or until they turn lightly golden.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the sheet.
