The dough for these Lemon Poppy Seed Spritz Cookies is a dream to work with! It was the perfect consistency and the cookies stuck to the baking sheet without any trouble at all. ♥I like that in a spritz cookie:@) My first thought was, how could 1 tsp of poppy seeds be enough for all of that dough? But it really was, although, if you're a big poppy seed lover you may want to add a bit more. The predominant flavor is lemon, but you will notice the poppy seeds too. Don't hesitate to give these a try folks, any time of year using any disc shaped desired. They are flavorful cookies that would be perfect with a nice cup of tea.
