    Eggless lemon poppy seed cookies recipe - buttery, zesty and crispy cookies with crunch from poppy seeds.

    Eggless lemon poppy seed cookies | Eggless cookie recipe

    I love citrus flavor in dessert.

    In these cookies, the citrus flavor comes from lemon zest only. Yes we are not adding lemon juice here. So all the lemony, zesty flavor is from the lemon zest.

    For beginners, lemon zest is prepared by scraping or grating the outer yellow part of the lemon with microplane grater. Make sure that you don’t grate the white part that is really bitter. It will ruin the taste of the cookies.

    After making the dough, it is rolled into cylinder log shape. Then the log is chilled into refrigerator. Why are we chilling the dough? First, it will make the slicing job easy. It will make clean cut. Secondly, it will hold the round shape while it is baking. So it is important to chill the dough till it is hard.

    The texture of these lemon poppy seeds cookies are crispy yet soft and melt in your mouth. The flavors are so lemony, I just love it.

      My daughter made it. The taste came out very good. But they were half your size cookies. Also I think more lemon would be perfect. I would put a drop of natural yellow color.4 stars

        Mine were 2-inch in diameter. The size of the cookies depends on the how thick your cookie dough log is.
        You can add more lemon zest or few drops of lemon extract for more lemon flavor.
