Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature

- 3 large egg yolks (I see macarons coming with the whites!)
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- zest of one lemon
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 1/4 cups gluten-free flour (I used my gluten-free cookie flour. Make sure yours has xanthan gum in it, and if not add 1 tsp xanthan gum)
Directions
- * Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- * Make sure your flours are whisked / sifted well and add xanthan gum if not included.

- * Add lemon zest, extract and juice and beat in.
- * Add flour and slowly beat in, then increase speed until incorporated.
- * Fill cookie press and press onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- * Bake one sheet at a time for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
