Ingredients

Units Scale

Baking

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, cardamom, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Form Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For a citrusy twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the dough.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
