Hungarian Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies




Ingredients:
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 egg
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Glaze:
1 cup powder sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat granulated sugar and butter in large bowl on medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg and lemon peel.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture. Beat in poppy seeds on low speed.
4. Drop dough by small teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 11-12 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute, then move to wire racks to finish cooling.
5. For glaze: combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in small bowl, mix well. Drizzle glaze over cookies, and let stand until glaze is set (about 20 minutes).
