Yield 27 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

COOKIES
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
FILLING
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • FOR COOKIES:
  • Mix flour, salt and baking powder in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until light. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in egg, then poppy seeds, lemon peel and extracts. Mix in dry ingredients in 3 additions. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets. Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 21/2-inch-diameter fluted cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Arrange cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Gather scraps; reroll and cut out more cookies. Chill cookies on baking sheets 15 minutes.
  • Bake cookies until edges just begin to color, about 18 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; cool completely. Repeat rolling, cutting and baking with remaining dough. (Can be made ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month.)
  • FOR FILLING:
  • Beat all ingredients in large bowl until light and fluffy. Spread 2 teaspoons filling over bottom of 1 cookie. Press second cookie, bottom side down, onto filling. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

I'm not a fan of lemon poppy seed, so I wasn't sure if I would like these cookies. But I was pleasantly surprised! They're actually really good. The lemon flavor is subtle and the poppy seeds add a nice crunch.

These cookies are a lot of work, and they're not even that good. I wouldn't recommend them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was so happy to find this recipe for nut-free lemon poppy seed sandwich cookies. They're just as delicious as the traditional version.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making a batch of cookies or pancakes, and this is a great way to use them up.
