Jan asked me to make these for the wedding and several people have asked me for the recipe so I am posting it so it will be easy to share.

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups butter
3 eggs 
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. lemon extract
4 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp.  baking powder
1 tsp. salt
zest of 2 lemons
3/4 cup crushed lemon drops  (1 6oz. pkg)
Glaze:     1 cup powdered sugar
               juice of 2 lemon

Heat oven to 350.  Cream first five ingredients.  Stir together dry ingredients and lemon zest and drops.  Add to mixer and mix until incorporated.  Roll into 1 inch balls.  Flatten tops.  Bake 8 to 12 minutes until lightly browned.  Let cool.  Mix together glaze ingredients and brush onto cookies.
