2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp lemon extract
3/4 cup butter

Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and line baking sheets with parchment or lightly grease them.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, then beat the sugar, butter, eggs, sour cream, and lemon extract together and mix in the dry ingredients.
Drop rounded spoonfuls onto the sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the centers are set.
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack to cool completely.
Beat the butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth, then spread it over the cooled cookies.
