Beat together butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice and lemon extract.
In a bowl, stir together flour, almonds, baking powder adn salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until a dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
Place remaining sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar and place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with some parchment paper or lightly grease. Bake cookies until edges just begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Check cookies for doneness a minute or two before suggested time becuase they can over bake quickly. Remove cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.
