Lemon Caraway Seed Cookies image

I tried this recipe that I found on the internet. They were delicious! I've made some other cookies before with caraway cookies from the Food Network and didn't like them. But this recipe that I found from a fellow blogger were delicious! Caraway seeds provide such a great fragrance in cookies. You can also add poppy seeds...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1/2 c butter cut into pieces
1 1/4 c sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 Tbsp lemon zest, grated
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp caraway or poppy seeds
raw sugar for sprinkling (optional)
ADDITIONAL TOPPING
lemon glaze

Steps:

  • 1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • 2. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter, cut butter pieces into dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • 3. Add the egg and the Caraway Seeds or Poppy Seeds into dough. Knead dough and bring together to form a soft dough.
  • 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough thinly and then cut out rounds (about 36). You can flour a rim of a glass and cut the pieces if you don't have a circular cookie or biscuit cutter.
  • 5. Transfer the cookies to the cookie sheets, brush lightly with a beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Optional but it does provide a crunch and sweetness.
  • 6. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cookies are crisp and lightly golden in color. Cool and enjoy!
