Author Notes

I’m also tough myself to develop some of my favourite cookies vegan & celiac friendly and why no longer originate with my favourite —shortbread. These cookies are small, crispy & light, yet they pack a tall punch of recent lemony taste from numerous meyer lemon zest and smothered in a tart glaze jeweled with poppyseeds. —jonajim
