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 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups cake flour
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Directions
Step 1
Combine the butter, sugar, egg yolks, lemon or orange zest, nutmeg and salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Sift the flour, then add it and the poppy seeds to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 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.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 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.
