Lemon Caraway Seed Cookies Recipes

LEMON CARAWAY SEED COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter, cut butter pieces into dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• 3. Add the egg and the Caraway Seeds or Poppy Seeds into dough. Knead dough and bring together to form a soft dough.
• 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough thinly and then cut out rounds (about 36). You can flour a rim of a glass and cut the pieces if you don't have a circular cookie or biscuit cutter.
• 5. Transfer the cookies to the cookie sheets, brush lightly with a beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Optional but it does provide a crunch and sweetness.
• 6. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cookies are crisp and lightly golden in color. Cool and enjoy!

SEED CAKES (CARAWAY SEED COOKIES)

Steps:

• Beat eggs until light, then gradually mix in sugar, half of the caraway seed (2 t), and cream.
• Sift flour together with baking powder and salt, and mix into egg mixture to form dough.
• Chill dough, then toss on a floured board, and roll one-half inch thick.
• Sprinkle with the rest of the caraway seed (2t) and roll to one-fourth inch thick.
• Shape cookies with a small round cutter, first dipped in flour.
• Bake on a buttered sheet.
• Fannie Farmer's cookbook doesn't provide baking temperature and time, so your guess is as good as mine. I'm going to try 350 or 375 for 8-14 minutes. If you get good results, share your tips in the comments.

LEMON AND CARAWAY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8x4-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment or waxed (greaseproof) paper.
• Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture alternately with the milk, lemon zest, caraway seeds, and vanilla. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the mixture.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 1-1/4 hours, or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
