Lemon shortbread

I can honestly say I completely forgot that I had a blog. I haven't been baking like I used to. Since march I've mostly been baking these cookies because they easy and cheap to make and you end up with a ton of cookies. I made a batch and gave a bunch to all my friends that I met up with at sxsw. I also made a batch for a potluck on Easter and for another potluck that got canceled so I had so many cookies to go through! Anyway here is this super simple recipe:

3 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3.5 cups flour
1.4 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon extract

Mix butter & sugar. Add extracts. Sift flour and salt then add to butter mixture. Press dough into ungreased pan. (I used one 13x9 inch pan and an 8x8 inch pan). Bake at 350 f for 12-16 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy! Don't eat them all in one sitting dassit!
