Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingertips.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 8

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
