JGMB and Gaye - Oh, those sound yummy! Thanks for sharing! Sorry - I am no help on where to get the emulsion, but (hopefully!) someone should chime in soon.

Thank you for sharing JGMB and Gaye! Sounds easy enough - and yummy! Also, I'm still trying to figure out which lemon roll-out cookie recipe to try. The cream cheese recipe has me very curious detective.gif I might have to try it!

I got my lemon emlusion from LorAnn's website. I think a few different baking websites carry it, but they also have one directly from them.

It's www.lorannoils.com

I want to try just the lemon oil, but I am so overly impressed with this emulsion that I don't want to be stuck with a batch that I don't like much.

I can tell you that I have loved the Boyajian Lemon Oil in my pizzelles! I haven't tried it yet in the cookies, but have high hopes.

The LorAnn lemon oil is awesome! I've been using it alot lately

I just made these the other day(they are gone already, and I made a double batch) and added 6 drops to the recipe. Wow! it was fantastic

It is all natural also.

Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract (depending on how lemony you want them to be!)
1 tablespoon dried lemon peel (I used fresh)
1/2 cup sugar for rolling cookies

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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 and lemon peel.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

Yes, I did! I also used a drinking glass to smoosh them down just a bit before baking. They have that lumpy bumping crackly look to them.

This is a great recipe, requires no chilling.

I just made it again (just put the last sheet in)this time using almond extract and added a bunch of ground almonds I had in the freezer. Another winning combination!

Next time I'm going to try orange.

They are the perfect cookie jar type cookie and hold up well in lunches.
My DH took them to work yesterday and they got a big thumbs up.
Great bake sale type cookie also. icon_smile.gif
