Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate heat of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Prepare the baking sheets by covering them with a layer of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3
Combine the dry ingredients, including flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix them together until well incorporated.
4
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until they reach a light and airy consistency. Add the egg yolk, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl and mix until smooth.
5
Mix the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just combined. Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each part out on a lightly dusted surface until it reaches an even thickness of 1/8- to 1/4-inch.
6
Cut out desired shapes using cookie cutters and arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the cookies with a beaten egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they reach a golden brown color and the edges are lightly browned.
