Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by creaming together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. |
| 2 | Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. |
| 3 | Add the flour, salt, lemon rind, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. |
| 4 | Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up. This step is crucial for shaping the cookies later. |
| 5 | Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) and grease a cookie sheet with butter or non-stick cooking spray. |
| 6 | Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading. |
| 7 | Using a fork, gently flatten each ball of dough to create a crisscross pattern on top. |
| 8 | Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. |
| 9 | Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 10 | Enjoy your freshly baked Poppy Seed Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a delightful treat! |
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
