Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

If you’re all about lemon, these Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies belong on your must-bake list!

Lemon lovers know that not all lemon desserts deliver that true citrus punch. Some are too subtle, others too sweet. But these cookies? They strike the perfect balance - bright and bold, with enough zing to make you smile. The poppy seeds add a hint of nuttiness and a delicate crunch, making each bite just a little more interesting.

One of the best things about these cookies is how simple they are to make. You don’t need any fancy ingredients - just fresh lemons, a good gluten-free flour blend, and, of course, poppy seeds. The dough comes together quickly (no need to chill it!) and thanks to the soft, chewy texture, they stay delicious for days.

The lemon glaze is the finishing touch. It’s made with just powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice, but don’t let its simplicity fool you - it packs a serious citrus punch. Drizzled or spread over the cookies, it adds that extra burst of tart-sweet flavor that makes these cookies truly irresistible.

So, if you’re craving something bright and refreshing, these Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies are calling your name. Bake a batch, brew a cup of tea, and enjoy a little sunshine in cookie form!
