Directions

Mix together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a small bowl.

Whisk sugar and butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.

Add egg, honey, lemon zest, orange zest and lemon extract, and beat until blended.

Gradually add the flour mixture, beating on low speed just until combined.

Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats, or coated with cooking spray.

Roll the dough into 36 balls (about 2 level teaspoons each) with your hands.

Arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Make about 36 cookies.

Bake, one batch at a time, until puffed and beginning to crack, about 7 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an air-tight container, and they can be frozen well too.
