"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another small bowl combine sugar and lemon zest (this allows the sugar to absorb the lemon flavor and adds a bit of color to the cookies).

In mixing bowl, add butter and sugar/lemon zest, mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until butter becomes light and fluffy. Beat in egg, juice and extracts. Slowly add flour mixture to batter, stir until combined.

Depending on the size of cookie you want, use a medium/large scoop to shape cookies into balls. Roll dough ball in sugar and place on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Flatten slightly. Do not place too close together.

Bake at 350 º for 8-10 minutes. Edges will be slightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.
