Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies With Lemon Icing Recipe

	Alliesev / All my dishes 1 month, 1 week ago From "Big, Soft, Chewy Cookies", by Jill Van Cleave. When I make these cookies, I generally substitute grapefruit rind/juice for the lemon rind/juice... extra tangy and delicious! I generally leave out the poppy seeds as well.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind (about 2 lemons)

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

----ICING----

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1/2 lemon)

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg yolks; then add vanilla and blend. Add rind, poppy seeds (optional), and sour cream.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. (Dough will be sticky.)

Scoop 2 level tablespoons of dough and roll to form each cookie. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake until cookies are lightly browned, about 18 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a rack and let cool before icing.

For icing: Place sugar in a bowl. Whisk in butter and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle icing over tops of cooled cookies, and let icing harden before serving. Makes about 20 cookies.

Yum, these sound faublous and very different. I like the idea of the grapefruit peel. Great post. You have my 5.

I have an excess of poppy seeds at the moment, so these will be perfect - love the citrus-y flavor in these, and the sour cream is bound to keep them moist and soft...delicious post - thank you!
