I’m on my lemon kick!

I love everything LEMON, and these cookies are SO worth making, trust me…they have a delicious light texture and wonderful lemon flavor.

These are one of my all-time favorite cookies to make. They are insanely pretty and whether you ice them or not, they will be loved by all.

Tell me I’m not alone, tell me you love lemon as much as me!

Lemon and poppy seeds seem to go so well together and just wait until you take one bite into these, you will know why…

They are delicious!

 

Don’t skimp and not add the poppy seeds.

 

Roll the dough our evenly to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a cookie cutter. My favorite is this heart shaped cutter.

 

 

I had some leftover lemon glaze from the Lemon Scones I made and hoped it would be enough to ice these and save me some time

…..as luck would have it

I had just enough. YAY! But it really only takes a minute to make the icing, and it’s so delicious. You can add real lemon juice into it instead of the water, I make it both ways!

I didn’t flood all of the cookies all the way with icing, I just outlined some.

I really liked that you could see the poppy seeds, they didn’t need to be all covered up!

You can add more poppy seeds on top.

The recipe is very easy and OMG so delicious!!!

These look so pretty all piled high on a plater, perfect for any occasion or just for snacking!

      They really are so delicious! I do love how only a little icing is needed to pretty them up, it makes them quick to complete.

      yes, google docs works well. I hope to have a direct printable link up on the recipes shortly it’s been in the works for some time, along with a redesign 🙂
      Egg shapes sound great for Easter!

    How thick do you roll out the cookies for them to cook in 7-9 minutes? Does the icing dry hard enough to stack, pack and ship the cookies?

      I roll my cookies to 1/4 inch. I use two wooden dowels now, I didn’t used to and did a lot of guessing. Yes the icing dries hard to stack I’d wait 24 hours before stacking to wrap and ship them, so the moisture in the icing is completely dried out. The cookies won’t be stale if you leave them on a cookie sheet iced, overnight.

    is the icing on the outline the same kind of glaze as the filler just piped on?

      Yes it is the same icing used to outline and flood in the cookies.
