Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Beat together shortening and sugar in medium bowl until light. Add eggs, sour cream, lemon extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest; beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl. Combine flour and baking powder; add to mixture in bowl and beat just until moistened. Shape dough into small balls, using about 1 level Tbsp for each.

Arrange about 1 inch apart on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Bake 10 min, until lightly browned. Do not overbake. Put parchment paper under cooling racks to catch any icing that may fall after dipping the cookies. Remove meatballs from cookie sheets and place on cooling racks with parchment paper under racks.

Combine confectioners sugar and milk in small bowl; whip lightly with spoon until smooth and slightly thick. Add 1/2 tsp lemon juice and yellow food coloring if desired; stir briskly until well-combined.

Dip tops of cookies into icing. Let set until icing is dry to the touch. Then re-dip again and let cool. Store in closed container.
