-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c Butter or margarine
1 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 t Vanilla
2 ts Lemon extract
1 tb Lemon zest
Yellow food coloring
4 c Flour, sifted
1 t Baking powder

1 c Sugar, confectioners
2 tb Milk
1 t Lemon extract
Yellow food coloring
-----TOPPING-----
Poppy seeds

Thoroughly cream butter or margarine and sugar. Add
egg, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon zest; beat well.

Sift together flour and baking powder; add gradually
to creamed mixture, mixing to a smooth dough. Force
dough through cooky press, using a star or swirl
shape, onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in hot oven, 400 degrees 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.

Icing: Sift the powdered sugar and add the lemon
extract. Add the milk a little at a time. You want
the result to be a thin frosting. Add yellow food
coloring and stir until blended. You want the color
of the frosting to be paler than the color of the
cookies.

When the cookies are completely cool, put the frosting
into a small ziploc bag. Cut a small hole in one
corner, and squeeze the bag to force the thin frosting
out the hole. Starting in the center of each cookie,
make a sprial of frosting going out toward the edges
of the cookie. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, and let the
icing set.
