Yield Makes about 34 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup poppy seeds
Special Equipment
a 1-gal sealable plastic bag (not stand-up or pleated); a 2 1/2- by 1 1/2-inch fluted oval cookie cutter

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat together butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add flour and poppy seeds and mix until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to plastic bag and pat out dough to size of bag. Press out excess air and seal bag. Roll out dough with a rolling pin to flatten evenly and to fill bag (dough will be about 1/4 inch thick). Freeze dough on a baking sheet until firm, at least 20 minutes.
  • Open bag and cut apart along seams, reserving bag for rolling scraps. Cut out as many ovals as possible with cookie cutter, reserving scraps, and transfer to 2 ungreased large baking sheets, arranging about 1/2 inch apart. Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until edges are golden, 16 to 20 minutes total. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 5 minutes, then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely.
  • Gather and reroll scraps using reserved plastic bag (to keep dough from sticking), then cut out and bake more cookies in same manner.

I thought these shortbreads were just okay. They were a bit too sweet for my taste and the poppy seeds were a bit overpowering.

These shortbreads were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These shortbreads are delicious, but they're a bit crumbly. I think I might try chilling the dough for longer next time.

I had some trouble getting the shortbreads to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These shortbreads are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of poppy seeds, but I really enjoyed these shortbreads. The lemon zest really balances out the flavor.
