For these cookies I usually leave out the coriander (only because my family doesn't really care for it), but they're still very good even with the coriander.

Ingredients

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

How To Make lemon poppy seed cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, lemon zest, coriander and poppy seeds. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until the mixture forms a grainy paste.
  • Step 4
    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.
  • Step 5
    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.
