--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      c             Butter
   2      c             Granulated sugar
   3                    Eggs
   2      ts            Vanilla extract
   1      ts            Lemon extract
   6      c             Unbleached flour
   1      ts            Vaking soda

Cut four 14x12" pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Set aside.

In a bowl, cream butter or margarine with the sugar. Beat in vanilla
and lemon extracts and eggs until light and fluffy. In a bowl,
combine flour and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into egg and butter
mixture; blend well.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into an 8 to 10"
roll. Wrap rolls in waxed paper. Place the rolls in a rectangular
freezer container with a tight fitting lid, or into a large freezer
zip-lock bag, or wrap well in a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil.
Label with date and contents. Store in freezer. Use within 6 months.

To prepare cookies:

Slightly thaw one roll of sugar cookie dough. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut the dough into 1/4" thick slices. Arrange cut pieces on lightly
greased cookie sheets, placing about 1/2" apart. Sprinkle with
additional granulated sugar, if desired. Bake for about 8-10 minutes,
or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool on
wire racks.

Makes 4 rolls of cookie dough, or enough for about 48 cookies.
