Halal Kosher Vegetarian Bake Dessert Fried sweet savory umami sugary european greek middle eastern region halal kosher sour plant_based french main

I always make these with orange peel, but lemon peel works just as well for all you lemon lovers out there.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter , cubed
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs yolks
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
0.25 teaspoons salt
2.25 cups cake flour
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions

1

Combine the butter, sugar, egg yolks, lemon or orange zest, nutmeg and salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
2

Sift the flour, then add it and the poppy seeds to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
3

Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Form each piece into a 2 inch diameter cylinder and wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. At this point you can freeze the dough for later use.
4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5

Cut dough cylinders into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 9 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool. Once cool, store in an airtight container.
