Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well-mixed.
- In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a mixer.
- Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to maintain tenderness.
- Fold in the poppy seeds gently to distribute evenly.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden and the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
