How to Make Orange Poppy Seed Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon orange zest until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the butter mixture and mix until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons poppy seeds.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1 ½ inches in diameter.
- Wrap the logs individually in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 months).
- Once firm, slice the logs into 3/8-inch thick rounds.
- Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
