Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, cloves and salt in medium bowl; set aside.

Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and lemon extract; beat until well blended. Stir in flour mixture. Divide dough in half. Form each into a log about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 9 inches long. Wrap in wax paper.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Cut dough into 1/4-in thick slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Drizzle with lemon glaze, if desired.
