Ingredients
# 2/3 cup of sugar# 1/2 cup of butter, room temperature# 1 egg, room temperature# 1 tablespoon of orange zest# 1 1/4 cup of flour# 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda# Pinch of salt# 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
Directions
1 Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

2 Add the egg and the orange zest, beat for thirty seconds, scraping down the bowl part way through to ensure even mixing.

3 In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly sift it into the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds.

4 Place heaping teaspoonfuls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or Silpat, allowing them space as they will spread as they bake.

5 Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until just turning golden around the edges. Remove from oven. Let sit on the baking sheet for a minute or two to let the cookies solidify a bit, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
