What You'll Need

2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for sprinkling
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 (16-ounce) container white frosting
DECORATING
Chocolate chips for eyes
Mini chocolate chips for mouth
Orange jimmies sprinkles for nose
Chocolate candy bar for hat
Red fruit roll-ups for scarf

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
In a medium bowl, mix together 3 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1/2 the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place on baking sheet. Re-roll dough scraps and cut out additional cookies. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until the edges are light golden. Let cool 5 minutes then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Place coconut in a shallow dish. Spread frosting evenly on each cookie and dip into coconut, pressing gently to stick. Decorate cookies with candy decorations as seen in picture. Store in air tight container.
