Lemon Butter Cookies

"I made these after a friend told me how much she loved Trader Joe’s lemon cookies. I had already created the base butter wafer and then added lemon extract for a melt in your mouth treat. You can serve them plain or dip them into a flavored icing (I prefer almond extract) that hardens."
