few drops of lemon extract
1/2 cup Sugar, for rolling

Tips:

•If available, try to use a non-stick Teflon pan so the mix doesn't stick to the pan.
•You can substitute Vanilla Extract for the Lemon Extract.
•Using a melon baller or a small ice cream scooper makes the portioning easier and more uniform. If you don't have them, you can use a 1/4 measuring cup and split it into half.
