Okay... So you guys know that I bake a good bit.
And for the most part... The things that I bake are quite delicious! (in my opinion) HA.
But these cookies... Tony said they are the best things I have made.
He just said that the flavor, texture, look, everything was so good! Woo!
So I just had to share the recipe with you guys!
INGREDIENTS:
For the cookies:
-2 cups GF flour
-2 tsps baking powder
-1 tsp cornstarch
-1/2 tsp salt
-10 tbsps unsalted butter (at room temp)
-1 cup granulated sugar
-lemon zest from one lemon
-1 whole egg
-1 egg yolk (save the egg white for tomorrow's breakfast)
-1 tbsp honey
-1 1/2 tbsps fresh lemon juice
-2 tbsps poppy seeds
For the glaze:
-1 cup powdered sugar
-1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
3. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
4. In a large bowl beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
5. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and honey.
6. Add the lomon juice and poppy seeds and mix until combined.
7. On a low speed, slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
8. Use a medium size ice cream scooper to form perfect/symmetrical cookies. *Space the cookies about 2 inches apart. And gently shape the cookies into an even more perfect little ball with your fingers.
9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes (I did 10 mins).
10. Let cookies cool.. Make your frosting in the mean time.
11. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice. *If the frosting is too thick.. Then add a SMALL splash of milk (of choice). I aimed for the a slightly runnier consistency that way I could drizzle the frosting (using a small round decorative tip and piping bag).
12. EAT UP!!!!
