Ingredients 

Cookies

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Poppy seeds

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
