White Whole Wheat Lemon Poppyseed Cookies

Submitted by Jujubegirl

"These are a makeover of Recipe #452870. I un-veganized them, reduced the sugar, amped up the lemon, and used white whole wheat flour. These are light and delicious, not to sweet but sweet enough. Very popular here! The poppyseeds add a lovely texture."

These do cook quickly, I had to make these again, though it was completely my fault, I did not set my timer , so I am reviewing these the second time making them. <br/>Made these cutting the recipe in half, and leaving out the stevia. The kids loved these, as well as I did. These would be ideal for unexpected company as there is a quick baking time. The flavors really come out in these too, as the ending result ended up a nice flavorful little snack for us today. <br/>The preparation was nice and simple, and look forward to the leftovers later today. DELICIOUS !! Made for PRMR tag. Loved the idea of the whole wheat flour too.
