The best lemon cookies...EVER!!

I found this recipe at Cooks.com and they are the closest thing to a store bought child favorite. Home made of course is always better! Here is this the recipe...

Lemon Snowball Cookies

2 Sticks butter (softened)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups flour

Coating:

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon Kool-Aid lemonade unsweetened drink mix powder

mix these together in a bowl.

Cream butter, sugar, and both extracts together. Add flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
Roll into 1" balls and bake 1" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350F for 15-18 minutes.( they will not brown on top )

When cookies are just barely still warm toss them in coating and finish cooling on a plate. Makes about three dozen.

For some reason when my husband or I cook the kids like to lay around and do nothing...on our floor. At least they like being with us. I can't tell you how many times we have tripped though! :)
