Lemon Poppy Seed Sunshine Treats are a delightful dessert that will brighten up any day. These treats are bursting with the tangy flavor of lemon and the crunch of poppy seeds. They are perfect for a summer picnic or a cozy afternoon tea.

To make these Lemon Poppy Seed Sunshine Treats, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the poppy seeds.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the treats to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the treats are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled treats and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Sunshine Treats are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The poppy seeds add a nice crunch to the soft and fluffy texture of the treats. The glaze adds an extra burst of lemon flavor and a beautiful shine to the treats.
