Lemon poppy seed cookies are the perfect way to welcome spring. Bursting with lemon flavour, slightly crunchy around the edges and soft and tender on the inside, they\u2019ll quickly become your new favourite cookie.<\/p>\n

This lemon poppy seed cookie recipe is derived from a recipe shared by my friend Sophie from Waterfit class. Sophie brought her version of these poppy seed cookies to one of our winter coffee parties and everyone, including me found them so addictive! She makes her cookies with almond essence, but since it\u2019s springtime I modified her recipe by replacing the almond essence with lemon and adding a drizzle of lemon glaze. This turns them into springtime lemon poppy seed cookies! They have the same delightful light and crispy texture and are just as delicious as Sophie\u2019s almond version.<\/p>\n

\"Cookies<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll love these delicate buttery lemon cookies speckled with poppy seeds. They\u2019re pretty, light, crisp and not overly sweet. Lemon glaze and coarse sugar sprinkled overtop adds an additional burst of citrus and sparkle. They\u2019re also perfect for afternoon tea or a cookie exchange.<\/p>\n

Lemon and poppy seed combination<\/h2>\n

Poppy seeds are a well-known classic flavour addition in many baked goods. They have a nutty, earthy and slightly bitter flavour with a little crunch. They\u2019re a good alternative to nuts and grains. In this recipe, the dark blue-black poppy seeds combined with the lemon infused shortbread cookie dough work perfectly together.<\/p>\n

Poppy seed nutrition<\/h2>\n

Poppy seeds are packed with calcium, copper and manganese, as well as dietary fiber and protein. Just two tablespoons contain 25% of the daily suggested calcium intake and 4 grams of both protein and fiber. Not bad for just a little seed!<\/p>\n
