I've tried for years to duplicate my Nana's sour cream drop cookies recipe. I was skeptical about the lemon extract, but it was what the recipe needed!

Original recipe (1X) yields 33 servings

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 unsalted butter
2 eggs
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup chopped walnuts, or to taste (Optional)
¼ cup raisins, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg 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, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in sour cream and lemon extract. Gradually stir flour mixture into 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 begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
