Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while preparing the dough.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Cream together softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add lemon zest and stir it in.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and poppy seeds. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Bake: Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet with a spoon or cookie scoop, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool slightly on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened for a light, fluffy texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor.
  • For an extra zing, add a bit of fresh lemon juice to the dough.
