Directions:
In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the 2 cups of sugar. Beat mixture until combined, scraping sides of bowl.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and lemon extract or zest.

Add dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately to creamed mixture, scraping sides of bowl. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly grease cookie sheets - do not skip this step or cookies WILL stick.

For each cookie, use a 1/4 c measure to scoop out dough. Mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the sugar and cinnamon. Place 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Dip a drinking glass with a flat bottom in the sugar mixture and use to press on each dough ball to flatten gently.

Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes or until bottoms are a light gold. Do not over bake.
