I always make these with orange peel, but lemon peel works just as well for all you lemon lovers out there.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups cake flour
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, sugar, egg yolks, lemon or orange zest, nutmeg and salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Sift the flour, then add it and the poppy seeds to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Form each piece into a 2 inch diameter cylinder and wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. At this point you can freeze the dough for later use.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut dough cylinders into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 9 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool. Once cool, store in an airtight container.

I'm allergic to poppy seeds, so I made these cookies with sesame seeds instead. They turned out great!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover poppy seeds. I always have a few tablespoons left over after making poppy seed chicken.

I'm not a big fan of poppy seeds, but I still enjoyed these cookies. They're really soft and chewy.

These cookies are too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are okay, but I've had better. The flavor is a bit bland and the texture is a bit dry.
