For a richer flavor, toast the poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before using. Be careful not to burn them! If you don't have maple flavored syrup, honey or agave nectar can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Jun 16, 2025The poppy seed mixture needs to cool down. I did not wait long enough and it affected the dough's texture.

May 16, 2025These cookies are amazing! The lemon really brightens them up. I used honey instead of maple flavored syrup, and they were still delicious!
