Yum!  I L.O.V.E lemon.  I am on a bit of a lemon kick recently, but I will try to spread the posts out so I don't burn you out on lemon foods!

I recently found this recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies and knew I just had to try it.

The results?

Pure heaven.

They are impressively yummy.

I ate 4 right away.

Then I had to give the rest away so I didn't finish them all off!  Because I would have eaten them all.  But I still have baby-weight to get rid off...so I gave them away. 

But I am a little sad as I am typing this that I don't have any more left in my house to eat...they were so good.

YUMM-Y!

Ok.  Without further ado...here is the recipe for these de.li.cious Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies:

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup lemon juice (I used the kind from a bottle, but go to town with real lemons if you like!)
  • 3 ½ teaspoons lemon zest (I use the dried lemon zest...simplier in my opinion)
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (I confess, I only ever buy salted butter.  They turned out just fine with the salted butter.)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, plus more for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring lemon juice to a simmer over medium heat; cook until reduced by half. Add 1 stick butter and stir until melted.  Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside. 
  4. In an electric stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream 1 stick butter and 1 cup sugar on medium speed. Mix in 1 egg and the lemon butter mixture from step 2.  Mix about 3 minutes on medium.  Add in 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of lemon zest and mix.  Then add in flour mixture and poppy seeds.  Mix until blended.
  5. In a seperate bowl, stir together remaining ½ cup sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons zest.
  6. Roll spoonfuls of dough into 1 inch balls; roll them in sugar mixture.  Then place them 2 inches apart on baking sheets.  Press each dough roll with the flat end of a glass dipped in sugar mixture until they are about ¼ inch thick.  Sprinkle the cookies with additional poppy seeds.
  7. Bake until just browned around bottom edges, about 8 minutes for my oven.  
  8. Send all cookies to Simply Designing! 🙂

Ok.  I am just kidding about #8.  You won't want to share them.  And I don't blame you!
