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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly.

I'm allergic to poppy seeds, so I had to leave them out. The cookies were still delicious!

These cookies were a hit at my last bake sale! They're perfectly sweet and tangy, with a lovely crunch from the poppy seeds.
