The bright orangey flavors with the slightly citric and nutty, textural pop of poppy seeds make these cookies taste like bursts of sunshine itself! The cookies are easy to put together. They’re light and delicate, yet packed with flavor. Perfect for cookie-loving kids, yet still perfectly suitable for bridal parties, baby showers, or other lighthearted events. Feel free to switch out orange for lemon if you want something a bit more reminiscent of the classic lemon poppy seed muffin. If you do decide to use lemon, try switching out the poppy seeds for a teaspoon of ground coriander and add it with the rest of the dry ingredients for a more Mediterranean, slightly savory cookie.
