Where in the World is Bakingdom? Lemon Poppy Seed Shortbread {Updated}

Tuesday, July 9, 2013 by Darla

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for participating!

*Cue cheesy game show intro music*

Welcome, welcome ladies and gentlemen! Are you ready for another rousing rendition of “Where in the World is Bakingdom?”

Last time, “Where in the World” was a little inaccurate, because it was actually “Where in the U.S.“, but this time, you actually do have the entire world to choose from!

I know…that actually makes it harder, doesn’t it?

Well, don’t fret, because those cookies up there? Those are your very first clue. They’re a very subtle clue, at that. Very subtle.

Hmmmm…should I give you more clues today? Or leave it mysterious? I mean, you’re getting two more clues over the next two days… And you get to enter each day…

Alright. Here’s how this is gonna work:

Today is the first clue. There will be two other clues/giveaways throughout this week. There is something about this recipe that hints as to where the U.S. Coast Guard is moving us to next. It’s one of the ingredients, actually, and if you know which one, then you probably have a pretty good shot at guessing where we’re headed.

If you think you know, then leave a comment below. Here’s the thing, though… You don’t have to get it right. 🙂 Just make a guess, leave a comment, and you’re entered to win. 🙂 Check out all of the details below.

But first, and I’m serious here, go make these cookies, because ohmigosh they are stupid good.

Lemon Glazed Poppy Seed Shortbread | ©BakingdomThey’re not fancy, or elaborate…they’re quite humble, but they are delicious.

The cookies themselves are fantastic, but then you add the lemony glaze, and magic happens.

Lemon Glazed Lemon Poppy Shortbread | ©BakingdomThese would be the perfect little cookie to pack up and take along on a little picnic or a day of…oh, I don’t know…sightseeing? Or flower ogling…

(In case you didn’t catch that, that was another subtle hint there…)

Lemon Poppy Seed Shortbread Cookies | ©BakingdomYou can whip these up in only 5 minutes, and they’re baked and iced in under an hour. They’re perfect for a last minute get together or tea party! Plus, they keep beautifully for up to a week, in an airtight container, so you can even keep them on hand for surprise guests.

Enjoy!

Lemon Poppy Seed Shortbread {Printable Version}
Makes about 16 to 18 cookies

**As always, if you choose to make this recipe vegan or gluten-free, double check all of your ingredients to make sure they meet the criteria.

Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (or margarine for vegan/dairy free)
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup flour (GF for gluten free)
pinch of salt
poppy seeds

FOR THE FROSTING
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons milk (soy or almond for vegan/dairy free)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

To make the cookies: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the butter and confectioners’ sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the lemon zest. Add the flour and salt, and continue beating until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture forms a cohesive dough.

Scoop level one tablespoon portions of dough, and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2-inches apart. Using your thumb, a spoon, a fork, or decorative press, press down gently on each cookie until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle each cookie with 1/4 teaspoon or so of poppy seeds. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Allow to cool completely before frosting or serving.

To make the frosting: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Frost cookies once they are cooled and allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes to set up.

  12. Kathia says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:04 am

    I would say England also. Wow another move!

  13. Rachel says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:12 am

    Scotland is my guess. I’m new to your site and am completely enjoying it! Especially the parts about your husband because I think he is similar to mine-coffee, beer, etc. 🙂

  14. Molly Nowak says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:17 am

    Hmmm…….the first thing that popped into my head was Holland. But they are famous for tulips, not poppies. So…maybe it’s Belgium or France? Arrrggg. I’m not very good at this! France. I’m going with France. Mostly because I can totally picture you strolling along the Seine with your adorable little white dog…

  15. Dani says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:25 am

    Mainland Europe I think.

  16. Jillian says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:26 am

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:31 am

    New York. And there should be an easy way to print out your delicious goodies.

    • PeggyFin says

      Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 5:27 pm

      There is a ‘printable version’ link next to the title of the recipe! 🙂

  19. Krys says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:31 am

  20. lisat says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:32 am

    I’m going to guess somewhere in the Mediterranean, based on the poppy seeds?

  21. Beka says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:32 am

    The first place that popped in my mind when I read you were relocating was- Germany!:-) I love your blog, your recipes, and your love for the 10th doctor:-) He’s my favorite too:-)

  22. Ladybug says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:33 am

    France

  23. Sarah Ashley says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:34 am

    I’m guessing the United Kingdom, for the shortbread.

  24. Renee @ Awesome on $20 says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:34 am

    I’m going to be crazy and say Italy. I didn’t realize the U.S. Coast Guard had an international presence. Lemons make me think of Italy, and my uncle in the Navy was stationed there. I really have no idea, though. Since it’s shortbread, I also kind of hope it’s Scotland, in which case, I’ll totally be stalking you the next time we’re in the UK. You’ve been warned. 😉 Don’t worry, I’ll only attack you with cookies.

  25. Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:35 am

    I think the Netherlands 🙂

  26. Charlotte says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:35 am

    Denmark?

  27. Andrea says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:35 am

    Hmm…I’m going to guess…California somewhere? TOTAL guess, btw. It’s funny that you’ve posted a Lemon Poppy recipe, as I was just telling a friend earlier that I was craving lemon poppyseed! It’s meant to be, me and these cookies.

  28. Ivette Gutierrez says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:36 am

    Hungary!

  29. Strawberryfielde says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:39 am

    I’m gonna guess Czech Republic!

  30. Beth says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:39 am

    Belgium?

  31. Rebecca Newport says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:41 am

    “flower oogling” I want to say Holland.

  32. Jen B says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:41 am

    Either The Netherlands or Turkey…OK, I vote for Turkey!

  33. Tasha N. says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:43 am

    I’m going to guess…. Turkey. And I can’t wait to try these cookies!

  34. Larissa says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:43 am

    California. Those cookies sound really good!

  35. Cecily says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:44 am

    I think England.

  36. MP says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:44 am

    The Netherlands?

    I hope wherever you go, it’s somewhere you love!

  37. Susan S says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:45 am

    How about in an English Garden?

  38. Bernadette says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:46 am

    These look so good and I love poppy seeds. I’m thinking I am supposed to guess internationally but I am going to say Florida for the heck of it! 🙂

  39. Shan says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:46 am

    The Middle East…I say, Afghanistan? Can’t wait to find out, the suspense is killing me! Oh well, at least I have everything in the pantry to make these cookies! 😉

  40. Nicole says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:47 am

    I guess Florida! My home state, and sooo much closer to the wizarding world! We grow lemons and Florida means land of flowers.

  41. Sherri says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:48 am

    A country that is somewhat infamous recently for poppies is Afghanistan and the U.S. Coast Guard does have a presence there, but they don’t move there and take their families. Another country that is rather infamously connected to poppies is China, but once again the U.S. Coast Guard does regular visits there (I think I read it was once a month for Marine Safety inspections) but I didn’t find anything indicating they have a permanent presence . So the only other country I think of is England, thanks to my love of UK television shows like MI-5 and their series 7 opener that includes a story line with the Remembrance Day. So I will go with England. 🙂

  42. Sara @ Confectionary Tales says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:49 am

    The Netherlands! It would be fun to be stationed in Europe for a bit 🙂

  43. Kerry S says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:51 am

    I’m going to guess and say England since you are making shortbread – plus it’s perfect place to have that afternoon tea!

  44. Alvina says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:54 am

    Heheh your recipe says, Poopy seeds! “Sprinkle each cookie with 1/4 teaspoon or so of poopy seeds. Bake for 30-35 minutes.”

    I’m gonna guess Turkey, which has the highest production of poppy seeds!

    • Darla says

      Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:58 am

      Ha!! Thank you!! Good for a laugh at least, eh? 😀

  45. Louise says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:54 am

    Ehhhh…. Don’t know why but something tells me Turkey. I get a Middle East feeling.

  46. Kaidi says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:55 am

    Hi Darla!
    Very nice idea to have readers guessing the destination. I usually never comment on web but this game got my interest. My intuition said France but as I try to consider all possibilities, I googled a bit. My searches took me to options from Scotland to Philippines. But I will stick with France.
    Best of luck wherever you go!

  47. Armindy M says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:56 am

    I’m going to guess Belgium for the poppy seeds and flower ‘oogling’ hint ;D

  48. Ashley G says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:59 am

    No idea…but how about Vienna, Austria…

  49. Elizabeth Wilcox says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:59 am

    I am going to say Lebanon.

  50. Ashley says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 10:59 am

    Amsterdam!

  51. elizabeth says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:01 am

    I will guess South Limburg, Netherlands. And I’m bookmarking these to make pretty soon!

  52. Laila says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:03 am

    The Netherlands.

  53. Rachael G says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:04 am

    I’m going to go with Holland/the Netherlands, due to their tulips. 🙂

  54. Debbie says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:07 am

    I’m going to guess Afghanistan, because that’s the first place I thought of with poppies.

  55. Caitlin says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:08 am

    I vote…the Netherlands!?

  56. Terri Wade says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:09 am

    Hmmmmmm. Tricky, tricky.
    I am going to guess London England
    Poppy’s are a symbolic flower.

  57. Richelle says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:11 am

    My first thought was Fort Meyers (as in Meyer Lemons). Then my next thought was China because of the Meyer Lemons and Poppy Seeds. Fort Meyers didn’t lead me to flower ogling, though. Hmm. Bring on the clues 🙂

  58. Megan says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:18 am

    England!!

  59. Ashley says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:19 am

    I like that I can guess a continent. I’m thinking Europe! I want to say England because of the significance of Poppy’s for remembrance day but I’ll be more general this time around 😉

  60. Rena says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:20 am

    Awesome giveaway!! best of luck on the move. my guess is belgium (flanders…poppies…??)

  61. Stacey says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:21 am

    San Diego? 🙂

    Those cookies look delicious & lovely!

  62. Kristina T says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:34 am

    Definitely have to say The Netherlands.

  63. Diana says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:36 am

    Those shortbreads look so good! Are you somewhere in Western Europe? Or maybe more specifically Northern France? Poppies make me think of Flanders Field (well, that and Wizard of Oz). But maybe the poppy seeds aren’t the hint-y ingredient.

  64. Nicole Grant says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:37 am

    I love your site! The Netherlands?

  65. Shelan says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:38 am

    Turkey!

  66. Anne from Pintesting says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:39 am

    It could be anywhere in the world, but maybe that’s to throw us off track. Lemon… Poppy Seeds… Shortbread… Florida… Belgium… UK…
    I’m going to guess Grand Haven, MI. Yes, I know that doesn’t make sense. But I know a few things about that Coastie town, so that’s my guess.

  67. Tianna says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:47 am

    I’m guessing England!

  68. Kim says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:50 am

    Flanders! You’re going to Flanders!

  69. Cassy says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11:55 am

    I’m going to say France! One of the top producers of poppy seeds and oh my, the sightseeing!

  70. Breezy says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:00 pm

    Hm. I would either guess Holland (for the flower oogling) or England for the poppies. Either way, have a blast!

  71. Rachel says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:01 pm

    Netherlands. (And if that’s the case, it’s so beautiful! But you’ll do well wherever you go. 🙂

  72. Gillian says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:09 pm

    Belgium?

  79. Ashley W says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:34 pm

    I’m going with Belgium!

  80. Angie says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:36 pm

    Long Beach?

  81. Jill Finch says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:38 pm

    Belgium!

  82. Karren Hansen says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:40 pm

    Hawaii

  83. Pamela says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:44 pm

    Turkey produces the most poppy seeds but maybe it’s the country that produces the most lemons… or Netherlands… I’m going to go with Netherlands!

  84. Michele says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:52 pm

    Oz…

  85. Heather Radecky says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 12:55 pm

    Holland/Netherlands!

    Sorrento Italy They’re known for their lemons and we Italians use a lot of poppy seeds in our baking.

  88. Michelle says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:06 pm

    I am going to guess Italy!

  89. Kayleigh says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:06 pm

    Flanders, Belgium:

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

  90. April says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:08 pm

    Eeek… I’m probably overanalyzing… But I’m going to go with poppyseeds as the clue, cuz they come from flowers, the other clue, and poppies used to be traditionally thought of as an Oriental flower… So the Orient! And I pick… Japan!! 🙂 this is REALLY fun!

  91. Kim says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:11 pm

    Turkey

  92. Laura R. says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:11 pm

    I’m sure packing up and moving to a new place gets tiresome but the adventure of it will make for stories you can tell for years. 🙂 I’m going to guess the South of France or somewhere in that area.

  93. Rebecca says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:13 pm

    Naples!

  94. Emilyn says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:14 pm

  95. libby says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:27 pm

    Ooh, I’m gonna guess CA? San Fran? Ya know, California poppies and all. 😉 The cookies look de-LISH!

  96. Heidi S. says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:33 pm

  98. Shirley Trevino says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:41 pm

    Belgium

  99. Amy S. says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:41 pm

    I’m guessing Holland.

  100. Jill_R says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:41 pm

    My husband was active duty USCG a long time ago (1980’s) and they didn’t send us overseas, we ended up in Alaska whisch as a close as we could get at the time. If I kew what your husband’s rate was it would be easier to guess… So I guess you will be in Europe somewhere!

  101. Alison says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 1:51 pm

    Scotland?

  102. Fiona says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 2:00 pm

    I’m guessing England. Maybe your going to Upper Hayford 🙂

  103. Holly Moser says

    Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 2:02 pm

    Is it Holland? Not sure what ingredient but the flower reference got me thinking about all of their tulips.

  104. Fiona says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 5:45 am

    Here’s the thing, I’m literally sitting in JFK tight now on a layover for our third flight en route home from Japan. We’ve been visiting AFB Misawa for the past three weeks so I have Japan on the brain. One of the biggest festivals there is Hanami or Cherry Blossom viewing….so I say Japan. Hopefully Okinawa 🙂

  159. Jessica says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:07 am

    My vote is for England- because I want to move to England. Husband’s vote is for Italy. Either way you are a lucky duck!

  160. Robyn Stone | Add a Pinch says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:16 am

    London…or somewhere else in the UK?

  172. Sara G says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 10:56 am

    I guess Germany!

  173. Carrie@BakeNoPrisoners says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 11:36 am

    First of all, I am so beyond jealous that I might be turning green…Second, I am so happy that you get to travel the way you do!! I hope it is a positive and healthy move for all. On that note my guess would be somewhere in the United Kingdom!

  174. Courtney says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 11:59 am

    Good luck as you prepare for the next leg of your adventure! I’m guessing Germany.

  175. Treya Lynn says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 12:20 pm

    Scotland? I love shortbread, can’t wait to make these ^ ^

  176. Megan says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 12:21 pm

    So I did a little bit of googling and I have a list: Japan, Belgium, or Germany. Googling got me Japan (apparently there are certain areas known for their flowers, plus lots of sightseeing, and specifically area which have poppy fields. Then there’s the fact that they were seriously involved in WWII, so there’s a connection there). The other two I chose from personal experience, Germany was involved in WWII and there’s ton to see there, but I see it as less likely than Belgium because Belgium has more of a coast to start with, and there are some pretty famous gardens.

  177. Mary B. says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 1:04 pm

    I’m guessing the Netherlands…and if I’m right, you will absolutely die over the gorgeousness of Keukenhof Gardens!!! We went at tulip peak 4 years ago, and it was truly awesome.

  178. Melissa @ Leet Kitchen says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 1:57 pm

    Since I have to just guess..I’m totally going to just say Bulgaria. Haha. xP

  179. Faith @ Pixie Dust Kitchen says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 2:21 pm

  180. Talia says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 2:47 pm

    I will guess Germany, yeah, big guess. Bon Voyage, wherever you’re going!

  181. Jessica says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 3:04 pm

    Mexico!

    *shrugs*

    These looks amazing!

  182. Katie W says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 5:48 pm

    England?

  183. Marina says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:20 pm

  184. Nessa says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:38 pm

    Italy?

  189. tania says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 7:57 pm

    The Netherlands? Holland, specifically?

  190. Sarah says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 8:11 pm

    These cookies look fantastic! My guess is the Netherlands.

  191. Kate says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 9:00 pm

    The Netherlands? (Flowers!)

  192. Ashley says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 9:00 pm

    Hmm… My guess would be somewhere in Europe… Denmark perhaps? Or maybe Sweden?
    Anyways, I can’t wait to try these! My aunt absolutely adores lemon so I’ll definitely have to make these for her!

  193. Tammy young says

    Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 10:04 pm

    I say somewhere in the Netherlands. The best poppy seeds come from Holland.

  194. Xuan says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 4:37 am

    Maybe England?

  195. Meghan says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 7:54 am

    OK, so poppy seeds are popular in German baked goods, and there are lots of gardens there, so I will guess Germany. But mainly I hope it’s Germany because my best friend spent her first 4 years of life in Berlin. Her mom used to take the kids to Ikea, drop them off at the free daycare service, and enjoy 2 hours of peace and quiet wandering around the store. Ikea=win.

  196. Heather Ricco says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:55 am

    Well, you said somewhere in the US for the Coast Guard, so I’m guessing California.

  197. Christina says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 9:15 am

    I was thinking scotland but now I’m rethinking it and going where we saw beautiful sights and gardens and going with France.

  198. Michelle R. says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 10:01 am

    My guess is Scotland, for the shortbread.

  199. ClancyJane says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 1:24 pm

    The United Kingdom…or on a broader scale one of the countries in the commonwealth?

  200. Sherri Huff says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 2:47 pm

    Portland Oregon……

  201. Amanda says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 3:01 pm

    India or Turkey?

  202. Payton says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 3:20 pm

    For some reason, England keeps popping in my mind… Maybe it’s all the Doctor Who/Harry Potter obsessions… Yup, I’m going with England.

  203. Christina @ Sweet Lavender Bake Shoppe says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 3:33 pm

    I’m going to go with England??

  204. Natalie J Vandenberghe says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 3:37 pm

    I’m guessing California (because of the poppy seeds).

  205. Leann Reemer says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 4:02 pm

    The Netherlands? I hope so then we can visit and become best friends! I’m super subtle…:P

  206. Jessica says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 4:55 pm

    Hmmmm, poppies make me think of Flanders Field….soooo Belgium?

  207. Ericka G. says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 6:24 pm

    Oh dear….I’m guessing the United Kingdom, if only because my friends and I (only just last weekend!) gathered for a tea party and a 10th Doctor marathon for which I also made lemony iced shortbread (with lavender). Happy cookie-eating! Thanks for the giveaway!

  208. Heather says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 7:17 pm

    Belgium, right!

  209. A says

    Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:21 pm

    Amsterdam, The Netherlands!

  210. Tu Anh says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 1:09 am

    turkey?

  211. Rebecca says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 1:41 am

    Poppy seeds makes me think France!

  212. Robin says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 4:50 am

    I’m guessing somewhere in France – somewhere with those gorgeous poppy fields. Now I’m off to see if we have poppy seeds, because these look divine. Divine!

  213. Katherine G. says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 9:15 am

    My guess is either Belgium or Holland.

  214. Vicki Sianez says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 10:27 am

    The cookies look amazing! I think you are going to France.

  215. Kendra says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 11:32 am

    I guess France because of the presence of butter in the cookie.

  216. sally says

    Friday, July 12, 2013 at 7:20 pm

  217. Luzie says

    I guess England, too.

  218. Megan says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 5:34 am

    My guess would be Turkey.

  219. Chef Heather says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 2:16 pm

    Netherlands

  220. Michelle Bowers says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 2:19 pm

    The Netherlands.. specifically Schinnen???

  221. Caroline says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 2:48 pm

    I’m going to guess the Netherlands!

  222. Marina says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 4:19 pm

    Netherlands?

  223. LC says

    Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 8:38 pm

    Japan…because of Hanami (cherry blossom viewing festival) and the tradition of picnics and sweet confections that goes along with it.

  224. Monica W. says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 9:46 am

    Netherlands?!

    England?

  227. Katie Doyle says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 9:49 am

    I’m guessing Tukey because of the poppy seeds, the fact that Turkey is the highest producer of poppy seeds, and I know Turkey has military bases because my cousin and her husband have been stationed there!

  228. Christine P. says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 10:00 am

    My first thought was England…some lemon poppy biscuits and tea, perhaps?

  229. Kim C. says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 10:51 am

    My guess is the Netherlands.

  230. Tierney says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 10:53 am

    Scotland – the original birthplace of shortbread!

  231. Sarah says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 12:04 pm

    France. Particularly Normandy.

  232. Pauline says

    Sunday, July 14, 2013 at 12:59 pm

    The Netherlands!! So jealous! I was born in NL and lived there for 12 years. Still have family over there.
