Tried for years to duplicate my nana's recipe. I was a bit skeptical about the lemon extract but it is what it needed!

Time 27m

Yield 33

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup chopped walnuts, or to taste
¼ cup raisins, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together into a bowl.
  • Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition; blend in sour cream and lemon extract. Gradually stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is combined.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, about 3 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown around the edges, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over cookies; top with walnuts and raisins. Continue baking until bottoms of cookies begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
