Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest

Lemon Glaze

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then line or place silicone baking mat on cookie tray and set aside.
Then in a small bowl you will add your flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt, and whisk together. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or with hand mixer add your softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together. Mix on medium speed for 2-4 minutes, scraping sides. You want to cream the butter and sugar together really well.
Next add in the lemon juice, zest, honey, and egg. Mix an additional minute.
Slowly mix in the flour mix until it is fully incorporated.
Use a cookie scoop and place cookie dough on baking sheet leaving 1-2 inches from each cookie.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are fully baked. Remove and then let cool a minute and transfer to cooling rack.
Once all the cookies are fully baked, let them cool completely. Then mix up the powdered sugar and lemon juice for the lemon glaze.
Drizzle on top of each cookie and then serve and enjoy these lemon poppy seed cookies.

Notes

Storing - Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Or you can freeze cookies in a freezer bag or container.

Lemon flavor - For more lemon flavor take your lemon zest and add 1/2 teaspoon sugar to it. Then with fingers massage the zest. This will enhance the lemon flavor in cookies.
