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.
