Welcome to #LemonWeek 2022 hosted by Lynn from Fresh April Flours and Rebecca from Devour Dinner.  This week is sponsored by Rodelle and La Tourangelle. I received product samples from these sponsors to help in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. Come join me and my fellow Lemon Week bloggers as we bring you recipes from appetizers to drinks to entrées and desserts!

What I made for Lemon Week:

• Gluten-Free Lemon Almond Cake
• Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Pudding Cookies
• Rosemary Watermelon Lemonade

Look I made cookies that do not contain peanut butter! It’s border-line insanity, but this girl also loves fruit almost as much as peanut butter. Even though lemon isn’t the first fruit I think of, it seemed like the right thing to do for a nice refreshing warm-weather cookie.

These cookies could stand by themselves with their lemon flavor, but the glaze makes them extra lemony. So if you want more of a subtle lemon poppy seed cookie you can skip the glaze. Either way they are very soft and moist, almost as if you were eating little drops of lemon poppy seed bread. Want more lemon poppy seed cookie ideas? Try my madeleines or thumb print cookies.
