Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer until it is light and fluffy.
- Turn the mixer to low speed and add the powdered sugar and lemon zest.
- Mix until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour.
- Next, add the milk and lemon extract.
- Keep mixing until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute.
- Form the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes. This will help make the dough easier to roll and cut.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough until it is 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a cookie cutter of your choice, cut out the cookies and place them on the baking sheets. I used a round cookie cutter and got 10 cookies.
- Place the sheets in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill the dough. This prevents spreading.
- Bake until the edges of the cookies are golden brown, about 12-14 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool and then store in a plastic container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
