A cookie based on a classic bake, lemon poppyseed cookies are delightful and fresh, especially when you stuff them with a homemade lemon curd. <\/p>\n
I would say that lemon and poppyseed is one of the most famous flavour combinations when it comes to a fruit bake. Iconically, you usually find a lemon and poppyseed muffin in almost every coffee shop, and I have a great fondness for them. <\/p>\n
I have made some lemon and poppyseed cupcakes<\/a> and a lemon and poppyseed bundt cake<\/a> on this blog, a long time ago, and I randomly wanted to create a recipe inspired by bakes like this; these lemon poppyseed cookies. <\/p>\n Any bake like this provides the zingy fresh flavour that you are after from a lemon flavoured baked, with an extra element of the poppyseeds. They add a natural slight nuttiness to a bake, as well as a texture that personally I adore. <\/p>\n I do keep posting cookie recipes, and I keep mentioning that I keep posting cookie recipes. I just don’t think that I am going to be able to stop this obsession any time soon. A few weeks ago I shared my pistachio nyc cookies<\/a> that are stuffed with my homemade pistachio spread<\/a>, and I just got yet another hankering for a stuffed cookie. Seeing as I also shared my almond croissant cookies<\/a> recently, that were also stuffed cookies, a third seemed perfect. <\/p>\n These cookies follow a similar trend in size, and type of cookie dough. These naturally bake a little flatter sometimes because of the lemon curd (it never freezes as solid) but the cookie dough itself is super similar. <\/p>\n As mentioned above, the cookie dough is similar to a degree, as with most of my cookies because I simply adore the base cookie dough. So many thousands and thousands of you have made these cookie based recipes now, I wanted to make sure to stick to the same classic bake. <\/p>\n For these, and because I have an obsession, I add chocolate. I wanted to add chocolate because I like it, but you really don’t have to. Lots of other lemon and poppyseed cookies don’t have chocolate added in. I opted for white chocolate as I find it worked best with the lemon flavour. <\/p>\n For the poppyseeds, which is arguably half of the most important part of the recipe idea, you can add as much or as little as you want. Generally I found 10-30g the best, as they do go quite far and it can definitely become too much. I usually add about 20g for the best quantity and spread through the cookies. <\/p>\n For these cookies, as mentioned above, I wanted to make them a stuffed cookie recipe. I will say from the start that this one is a little trickier as I don’t find lemon curd can freeze completely solid like most spreads can. Because it has such a high sugar content, it basically becomes thicker or easier to manipulate – but still a little soft. I did use scoops of my homemade lemon curd<\/a> recipe, but most shop bought ones work. <\/p>\n It’s best, if you want to stuff the cookies, to freeze the lemon curd overnight. When you go to stuff the cookies, you want to flatten the cookie dough in your hand, carefully add in the lemon curd (I use a spoon for this) and then wrap the cookie dough around. If you leave any gaps, the curd may seem out – but I don’t really worry about this too much. <\/p>\n It is also totally fine to not stuff these cookies. This batch makes 10 delicious cookies that I LOVE even without the lemon curd in the middle. <\/p>\n Here is a little how-to make this recipe free-from. I haven’t always tested these this way, so this is a guide for those who bake free-from on the regular or want to try something new. Inevitably changing the core recipe can create changes in texture and end result due to differences in ingredients. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LemonPoppyseedCookies1-2-534x800.jpg\")
