Orange Poppy Seed Cookies

Happy weekend!

It's a nice day to bake something fresh and sunshiny--like a batch of Orange Poppy Seed Cookies perhaps? Part tangy, part sweet, each cookie tastes like a bite of sunshine. This recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes. Instead of orange zest, I used orange extract instead.

  2. These sound AMAZING! I'm going to try this for sure. Wonder if I could use orange juice somehow instead of orange extract, though... guess I'll try!

  3. Sorry I lost touch for a while Christy. I really like the sound of your cookies. I am rather partial to lemon and poppyseed muffins too, so I am sure I would like these. I really like how you have presented them too. x
