"Star light, star bright, what kind of cookie should I make tonight?"

Thin lemon cookies? Thin lemon poppy seed cookies? What's that you say? Sandwich those cookies over tart lemon icing?

Ok. If you insist.

These stars are a great snacking cookie since they're not overly sugary. The outer layer is all about texture. The dough is made with yellow cornmeal which, when combined with the poppy seeds, makes for one crunchy cookie. The icing middle provides the flavor kick. It's super lemony and a little tart, just the right thing to brighten up your day.
