These lemon poppy seed cookies are everything cookies should be. Soft baked, melt in your mouth, lemony, sweet, tangy, fluffy, arguably the best cookies I've ever had. When it comes time for dessert, I almost always reach for something vanilla, strawberry or lemon flavor. For cookies, beat granulated sugar and butter in large bowl of electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg and lemon peel.
