Gradually blend flour mixture into the lemon mixture. Stir in pecans. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets.

  3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  4. Place reserved white chocolate chips, and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM for 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until melted. Stir in a few drops of yellow food colouring (if using) and lemon extract to taste. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
