Description

Lightly lemon, perfectly chewy – these cookies are perfect for Spring!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 whole Lemon (just The Zest)
  • ¼ cups Buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and poppy seeds. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and lemon zest and mix well. Add into the creamed mixture the dry ingredients and the buttermilk. Mix well.

Drop the dough by small tablespoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. The cookies should be puffy and fairly light in color when they are finished baking. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet. Move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

these were cake-like and delicious!!
i used the leftover lemon to make a tangy glaze ~ lemon juice, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla.
I had to send them with hubby to work so I wouldn’t eat them all myself!

My husband and coworkers loved these, and a couple of people asked for the recipe. Very easy – I whipped them together in the morning before work. As they cooled, I made a quick icing of powdered sugar and juice from the lemon I had zested, and drizzled it over the cookies. Yum.
