Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Nonpareils, for decorating

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, poppy seeds, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and 1 tablespoon lemon zest and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until just combined.
  • Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are light golden and just set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest and enough lemon juice to make a spreadable glaze. Spread on the cookies; sprinkle with nonpareils and let set, about 20 minutes.

LEMON POPPY SEED COOKIES



Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies image

These cookies are a celebration of lemon. Rubbing lemon zest into the sugar releases a deep citrusy aroma, and a bit of cream of tartar gives them a snickerdoodle-like texture. This tender cookie has a sunny interior and is coated with crisp poppy seeds. Be sure to shop for poppy seeds where you know there is high turnover, such as from the bulk department in a health food store or a spice shop. They can sit on the shelves for a long time - and can go rancid quickly due to their high fat and protein content.

Time 1h30m

Yield 3 dozen (3-inch) cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups/320 grams unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 lemons, for zesting
1 cup/228 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 whole large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon limoncello (or 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice plus 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract)
1/4 to 1/3 cup/40 to 60 grams poppy seeds, for coating

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, if using a hand mixer), combine sugar and salt. Zest both lemons over the sugar, then rub the zest into the sugar using your fingertips until moistened. (It will lightly stain the sugar yellow and release a strong lemony aroma.)
  • Beat the butter and sugar on medium until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, stopping and scraping the bowl at least once in the process.
  • In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk and limoncello. With the mixer on low speed, stream the mixture into the creamed butter. Stop and scrape the bowl with a spatula, then increase the speed to medium and beat for another 30 seconds.
  • With the mixer off, add the flour mixture, then mix on low speed until combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, working in the bowl, fold the dough over several times with your hands to ensure it is uniform.
  • Fill a small bowl with the poppy seeds. Portion the dough into heaping tablespoons (about 25 grams each) and set them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Round each piece of dough into a ball, then roll in the poppy seeds until completely coated.
  • Transfer back to the baking sheet, setting at least 1 inch apart. Cover the surface with another sheet of parchment and press down with a second cookie sheet to evenly flatten cookies to about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375 degrees, and line baking sheets with parchment (or grease with butter). When cookies have chilled and oven is ready, transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets spaced about 3 inches apart. (Keep remaining cookies in the freezer until ready to bake.)
  • Working in batches, bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets after 8 minutes from front-to-back and bottom-to-top. Cookies will be just golden on the edges and puffy in the center but should no longer look wet.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to cooling racks. Store cookies in a sealed container, and enjoy within 1 to 2 days. Bake remaining cookies, or wrap and freeze chilled cookie dough. Once firm, transfer cookie dough to a covered container or sealed bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. You can bake the cookies straight from the freezer.

LEMON POPPY SEED COOKIES



Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies image

This recipe comes from a cookbook "Mrs. Fields Cookie Book", which I bought more than 15 years ago and still use today for many of the cookies I bake. I usually leave out the coriander (as my family doesn't like a lot of zesty spices), but they're still very good even with the coriander.

Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (freshly grated is recommended)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, lemon zest, coriander and poppy seeds. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until the mixture forms a grainy paste.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl (this ensures that the butter and sugar are thoroughly blended to provide a consistent base for the remaining ingredients). Then add the egg yolks, egg, and lemon extract. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake at 300° for 23-25 minutes or until cookies are slightly brown along the edges. Immediately transfer the cookies with a spatula to a cool surface.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for a chewier cookie.
  • Use a generous amount of icing on your cookies. The icing helps to keep the cookies moist and flavorful.
