Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a 9 x 9-inch square pan with parchment paper or cooking spray sprinkled with flour.
With a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, beating for another 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, extracts, and zest. Mix well, and scrape down sides if needed.
