3 c. reg. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. butter
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. lemon extract or grated lemon peel

Sift together flour and baking powder. On low speed, cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.

In a separate small bowl, beat eggs, add sugar and lemon extract and beat thoroughly. Blend egg mixture into flour-butter mixture. Chill dough (at least 4 hours or overnight).

On lightly floured surface, roll dough 1/8 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 3 dozen cookies using regular size cookie cutters.
