Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
