  2. In mixing bowl, cream sugar, shortening, and eggs; add vanilla and lemon extract. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Coarsely Crush LemonHeads in blender or food processor (you want some pieces, not crushed to a powder). Add to cookie dough and mix until combined.
  4. Roll into balls, flatten just slightly with your hand, and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet (You need to use parchment or silpat liners to avoid sticking).
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (cookies will be crackly on top and slightly puffy). Let cookies cool on pan for a couple of minutes.
