Recipe: Lemon Poppyseed Cookies

One thing about me is I love baking cookies and I love lemon and poppyseed flavored anything. So when Farmer J suggested I combine the two, I said why not?

Here’s my recipe for lemon poppyseed cookies with brown sugar cream cheese frosting. A decadent treat for Spring, that would make a great addition to your Easter or Ostara spread.

We hope you enjoy!
