BE PICTURED IN; CHARACTERIZED IN:
When these Orange Poppy Seed Cookies bake, it’s culinary aromatherapy.
The cookies are easy to put together. They are light and tender but full of flavor. Perfect for cookie-loving kids, yet perfectly suited to bridal showers, baby showers, or any other light-hearted event.
Feel free to substitute lemon for orange if you want something more reminiscent of the classic Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin.
If you opt for lemon, substitute a teaspoon of ground coriander for the poppy seeds and add with the remaining dry ingredients for a more Mediterranean, slightly savory cookie.
