DELICATE LEMON TEA CAKE COOKIES

    Delicate Lemon Tea Cake Cookies

    Delicious, wonderful, yummy, tasty. These little gems are just great. They have a wonderful lemony taste with a tender cake like consistency.

    1 cup softened butter
    1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (I use 1 cup for a less sweet cookie,
        because you sprinkle the tops with sugar)
    1 teaspoon lemon extract
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    3 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons buttermilk
    Additional sugar for sprinkling tops

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Beat butter in mixing bowl on medium speed for 1 minute till light, add sugar and lemon extract, beating till light and fluffy. Add eggs and lemon zest and beat well.

    Stir together flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Add to beaten mixture alternating with buttermilk.

    Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes or till lightly browned on edges.

    Yield: 45 cookies
