- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, about 1 small lemon
- 1¼ cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a handheld mixer until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Fold the ingredients in by hand until incorporated.
Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets.
Use the bottom of a glass to gently press down on each cookie, flattening it slightly.
Bake 7-9 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown on the edges.
Let the cookies rest for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
