Mrs Fields Has Done It Again!

It's Cookie Friday again and I wanted to make something refreshing since it's almost the end of summer. I decided on Lemon Poppyseed Cookies from the good old Mrs Fields Cookie Book and they came out awesome! I didn't have any Lemon Extract so I just added extra zest (2 lemons) and they tasted very lemony. They're disappearing fast in the office!

Ingredients: (2 dozen cookies)


2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
3/4 c (1-1/2 stick) salted butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1-1/2 tsp lemon extract


Prep:


1. Preheat oven to 300°F.


2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, lemon zest, coriander and poppy seeds. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.


3. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar with electric mixer at medium speed until mixture forms a grainy paste. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add yolks, egg and lemon extract. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.


4. Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.


5. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookied sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 23-25 minutes until cookies are slightly born along edges. Immediately tranfer cookies with a spatula to a cool surface.
