Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ c white sugar
  • 1 c butter softened
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp lemon extract
  • ½ tsp orange extract
  • 2 ½ c all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the oven by preheating to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, beat butter and sugar together until the texture is fluffy with soft peaks.
  • In another bowl, beat the lemon, orange, and vanilla extract together with egg yolks. Add this mixture together with the butter mixture and beat it together thoroughly.
  • Take the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda and sift them together in a bowl. Stir the yolk and butter mixture into this until it is well blended and a dough forms.
  • Once the dough is properly blended, roll it into small balls. Grease or line some baking sheets before placing on the dough balls and flattening them slightly.
  • Once your cookie shapes have been formed, place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for roughly 10 minutes or until the edges of the dough are golden.
