These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I love these cookies! They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I like to add a little bit of extra lemon zest to mine for a stronger flavor.

These cookies were delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. The poppy seeds gave them a nice crunch and the lemon zest added a bright flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
