Time 2h15m

Yield 50 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons caraway seeds
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Beat eggs until light, then gradually mix in sugar, half of the caraway seed (2 t), and cream.
  • Sift flour together with baking powder and salt, and mix into egg mixture to form dough.
  • Chill dough, then toss on a floured board, and roll one-half inch thick.
  • Sprinkle with the rest of the caraway seed (2t) and roll to one-fourth inch thick.
  • Shape cookies with a small round cutter, first dipped in flour.
  • Bake on a buttered sheet.
  • Fannie Farmer's cookbook doesn't provide baking temperature and time, so your guess is as good as mine. I'm going to try 350 or 375 for 8-14 minutes. If you get good results, share your tips in the comments.

LEMON CARAWAY SEED COOKIES



Lemon Caraway Seed Cookies image

I tried this recipe that I found on the internet. They were delicious! I've made some other cookies before with caraway cookies from the Food Network and didn't like them. But this recipe that I found from a fellow blogger were delicious! Caraway seeds provide such a great fragrance in cookies. You can also add poppy seeds...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1/2 c butter cut into pieces
1 1/4 c sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 Tbsp lemon zest, grated
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp caraway or poppy seeds
raw sugar for sprinkling (optional)
ADDITIONAL TOPPING
lemon glaze

Steps:

  • 1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • 2. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter, cut butter pieces into dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • 3. Add the egg and the Caraway Seeds or Poppy Seeds into dough. Knead dough and bring together to form a soft dough.
  • 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough thinly and then cut out rounds (about 36). You can flour a rim of a glass and cut the pieces if you don't have a circular cookie or biscuit cutter.
  • 5. Transfer the cookies to the cookie sheets, brush lightly with a beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Optional but it does provide a crunch and sweetness.
  • 6. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cookies are crisp and lightly golden in color. Cool and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the cookies. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt called for in the recipe.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can toughen the dough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These lemon caraway seed cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and tender, with a burst of lemon flavor and a hint of caraway. The cookies are also very versatile, and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. For example, you could add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even chocolate chips to the dough. You could also glaze the cookies with a simple lemon glaze or sprinkle them with powdered sugar. No matter how you choose to make them, these lemon caraway seed cookies are sure to be a hit!
