Lemon-poppyseed Spritz Cookies

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Thoroughly cream butter or margarine and sugar. Add egg, vanilla,
lemon extract and lemon zest; beat well.  Sift together flour and
baking powder; add gradually to creamed  mixture, mixing to a smooth
dough. Force dough through cooky press,  using a star or swirl shape,
onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake in hot oven, 400 degrees 8 to 10
minutes. Cool.  Icing:  Sift the powdered sugar and add the lemon
extract. Add the  milk a little at a time.  You want the result to be a
thin frosting.  Add yellow food coloring and stir until blended. You
want the color  of the frosting to be paler than the color of the
cookies.  When the cookies are completely cool, put the frosting into a
small  ziploc bag. Cut a small hole in one corner, and squeeze the bag
to  force the thin frosting out the hole. Starting in the center of
each  cookie, make a sprial of frosting going out toward the edges of
the  cookie. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, and let the icing set.  per
