Add butter, sugar, lemon extract and vanilla; process until well blended. Add flour; process using on/off pulsing action until dough is well blended and begins to form a ball.

Bake cookies 17-19 minutes*, or just until set and edges are lightly browned. Remove cookies from baking sheets to wire rack to cool. *Note: Cookies should be a very pale light golden color, so be careful not to overbake. Makes: 2 to 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
