2 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup butter, softened (if your butter has been in the refrigerator, cut into cubes, that will help the butter soften faster)
1 1/2 cups White Sugar
1 Egg (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract (I used lemon juice...so it wasn't as fragrant as the lemon extract would be)
1 tablespoon lemon peel

And to make them pretty...

How to make Heaven is made of Lemons

Preheat oven to 175C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lemon extract/juice and lemon peel.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Mix together the 2 tbsp of lemon peel and sugar and press a tiny bit of the mixture onto the top of each cookie.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the oven or until lightly browned.
Let stand on cookie sheet a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
