Makes about 4 to 5 dozen cookies

2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp lemon flavoring
1 tsp cream of tartar
2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
1 cup butter

Sift the first 4 ingredients together. Cream butter and extracts together until butter is softened. Add sugar gradually, creaming until fluffy after each addition. Add yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients in 4ths, beating until just blended. Make balls (1 inch), about 2 inches apart on ungreased sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
