how to make nice and soft lemon cookies

Cream butter and sugar.

Gather the rest of ingredients. Measure out your flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl..

When your butter and sugar is light and fluffy add the egg, milk, lemon extract and lemonade powder.Beat well.

Using a spatula add the flour mixture one third at a time ~~mixing well to combine after each addition

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes .

Preheat oven at 350 ºF~~~Take the dough out of the fridge.

Roll into 1 to 1 1/4 inch balls --here u can get creative --I used a floured kitchen scissors and snipped the top of mine and added a piece of maraschino cherry

Or you can flatten them and roll the sides with coloured sprinkles. Place them 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 12 - 14 minutes ... Take out and cool on wire racks .
