This is a delicious cookie - crispy yet tender inside. I left out the lemon extract and increased the vanilla to 1 1/2 tsp. I made these for a bridal shower. After chilling the dough, I rolled out a small portion at a time and cut with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. They baked for about 8 minutes. While they were still warm, I cut out two holes in the middle of the cookie with a straw. When the cookies were completely cool, I threaded a pink ribbon through the holes and tied a bow. Decorated with coarse sugar, colored sugar or sprinkles. Very pretty and wonderful flavor.
