Lemon poppy seeds cookies. Deliciously crumbly, perfectly lemony and speckled with poppy seeds inside and out. Made with ground almonds and spelt flour, these buttery shortbread cookies have just the right amount of sweetness, without being too sweet. And the best thing about them is that they are incredibly easy to make AND everyone loves them (even if my favourite Schwabe thinks they look like sliced aubergine)!<\/p>\n

Easy, no-stress poppyseed cookies<\/h2>\n

If you are familiar with my Lemon Butter Cookies recipe, then I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019re going to be a fan of these. This is another recipe for \u201cno-stress\u201d cookies, as they are super simple to make. And what I particularly love about them is that you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Then, once you are ready to bake them, all you need to do is slice the cookies into rounds and then pop them in the oven. All of which takes 5 minutes of prep, and 15 minutes of baking. So easy!<\/p>\n

How to make Lemon Poppy Seed Shortbread cookies<\/h2>\n

Prepare the cookie dough.<\/h3>\n

You first need to beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and fluffy. I like to use powdered sugar as it is silky smooth and helps create a melt in your mouth shortbread cookie. Then we add the ground almonds, poppy seeds and lemon juice. And finally the flour. And since we are using spelt flour for this recipe, it should be added last, so that it does get overworked, since it has a sensitive gluten structure.<\/p>\n

Shape and chill.<\/h3>\n

Shaping the cookie dough into a log form is what makes this cookies recipe so easy. No rolling dough or cutting out shapes. Simply wrap in plastic wrap, and chill until firm.<\/p>\n

Slice and bake.<\/h3>\n

Slice the cookie dough into rounds, then bake on parchment lined baking sheets until lightly golden. Let cool slightly and sprinkle with a little more powdered sugar.<\/p>\n

Then, enjoy this perfect make-ahead-cookie!<\/p>\n
