Poppy Seed and Lemon Cookie recipe
We love this easy chewy Poppy Seed and Lemon Cookies. These cookies have a really refreshing lemon taste, and just the perfect amount of sweetness. They are super chewy! This recipe makes a big batch of smaller sized cookies, so it's really great to bring for a crowd.

Notes
- Cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to a week. You can substitute bread flour with AP flour, the recipe will still work great! The cookies will just be more fluffy and not quite as chewy.
