| Comments: What are Caraway Seeds? Definition: [KEHR-uh-way]. These aromatic seeds come from an herb in the parsley family. They have a nutty, delicate anise flavor and are widely used in German, Austrian and Hungarian cuisine. Caraway seeds flavor many foods including cheese, breads, cakes, stews, meats, vegetables and the liqueur kümmel. They should be stored airtight in a cool, dark place for no more than 6 months.

I changed the recipe a bit to use 2 tablespoons of caraway seed and used lemon extract (2 tablespoons) instead of lemon juice. This gives a stronger lemon flavor. I also used butter instead of shortening. These are a family favorite cookie - not too sweet.
