In a large mixing bowl,combine the butter,sugar and salt. Cream with electric mixer until fluffy.
Step 4
Beat in the lemon zest,juice, and lemon extract. Gradually beat in the egg whites until completely incorporated.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for a few seconds. Sift the flour and cornstarch into the bowl and stir it in by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Transfer the dough to a pastry tube fitted with 1/2-inch(1 cm) round tip.
