Lemon Poppy Seed Spritz Cookies -Halloween or Any Day

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.


I used the Oxo spider disc from their fall set since we're getting close to Halloween:@)

Spider web napkins are 98¢ at Walmart this year.
Recipe easily cut in half, just estimate half of the yolk.
Half of the recipe will make two cookies sheets.

    I love making spritz cookies, and really do like to half each cookie recipe I make, just to keep the cookie volume down. These sound great, plus who doesn't love lemon poppyseed goodies?
