Drop Sugar Cookies

This was one of my gram's favorite sugar cookie recipe. She got the recipe from a community cookbook. My gram liked to add 1/2-2/3 teaspoon Lemon Extract to her sugar cookies as her mother always did. These sugar cookies are so soft and my family think they taste so good. When I made these I used Splenda for baking.
