Ingredients

  • 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
  • cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Instructions

  • 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.
