Aunt Karen’s Most Excellent Sugar Cookies

Combine sour cream and baking soda and set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon peel. Sift together salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and flour and add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream mixture. Mix after each addition. Chill. Roll out and cut. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Can be frosted or decorated any way that tickles your fancy. But for a simple butter frosting, mix together the frosting ingredients above until smooth. Add coloring if desired. My favorite is to add cream cheese to the frosting.
