Lemon-Poppy Seed Crisps

like a hard lemon poppy seed muffin,
still, probably not
the cookie to eat
if you have a drug test at work
the very next day

overall rating: 4.2
ease to make: 4
clean-up: 3.6

actually, i think at work we figured out that you'd have to eat 2 T of poppy seed to be positive for your drug test. these cookies only have 1 T, so you could technically eat the entire batch at one time and be just fine.
first, let me start off by saying that i've never been a lemon fan, so i'm very biased against these. after gathering all the lemon zest (you'll need 2 large lemons), and squeezing them to make 1/4c juice to make the lemon butter, walking into my house smelled like i was being engulfed in lemon scented cleaning agents. never the less, people loved these little things. they are easy to make and are rather pungent. you make the batter, roll it in sugar and excess lemon zest and sprinkle with additional poppy seeds. a few did complain of the salt in them, but martha uses course salt people! i'm sorry! they're gourmet! and then people did like the salt in them. i can't win with everyone. enjoy!
