Lemon Poppy Seed cookies

Cookies, cookies and more cookies - who doesn't like cookies?   I love cookies and love baking cookies.  I think I may have already mentioned that I love to bake...  And I think you all know I love to bake. 

For last weeks Pond Hockey Tournament I decided to make several different flavours of cookies, after all, who doesn't like cookies?  I made Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (recipe will be posted shortly) and Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies.
I am please to report that this one - Lemon Poppy Seed - was a HUGE hit!   Try it, see what happens!  (if you don't have a lemon in your fridge, I have also made it with lemon extract - still good.  Real lemon is best...)


Yum Yum!

The ingredients

Cream the butter and sugars.  Add egg and lemon zest.   Then add the rest.

Once mixed, put in the fridge for at least 15 mins (otherwise they will turn to pancakes)

Get your scooper (if you don't have one yet, it's about time to get one!) 

And the final cookie - a perfect lemony not to sweet cookie.

Try it, I would love to hear your comments!
