Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Cookies with Earl Grey Glaze
I’m so excited to bring you this delicious Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Cookies With Earl Grey Glaze recipe. Believe it or not this recipe started as a lemon poppyseed loaf which then transpired into making these yummy beauties. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you know I have a deep admiration for lemon treats. One of the most popular summer treats on my blog are these Gluten Free Mini Vanilla Lemon Huckleberry Bundt Cakes , so I’m pretty sure I have some lemon fans here as well! The Earl Grey glaze gives it a nice light citrusy flavor making it a perfect match, compliments of the bergamot. I should name these cookies ” Love At First Bite Lemon Poppyseed Cookies ” because the truth of the matter is they are that scrumptious. These amazing cookies are chewy, slightly dense, and soft with a matchless… sweet … lemon tart … zesty edge!!
I used Namaste Foods Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend for this recipe. The wonderful thing I love about Namaste Foods is that their flours and mixes are free from top allergens. They don’t sacrifice on taste and it’s a great option for those of you that have serious food sensitivities and allergies. When using this flour make sure to gently and slowly mix it into your wet ingredients, it gets thick fast.
