Good, flaky delicate flavor. The poppyseed add a nice texture. It's not overly sweet. I decided to add the poppyseed and almond flavor to my shortbread cookies one day and was pleasantly surprised. Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups flour |
2 cups unsalted butter, softened at room temperat |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
2 tablespoons poppy seeds |
2 tablespoons almond extract |
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Cream together the butter, sugar, cream cheese, poppyseed and almond extract.
2. Add the flour and blend well.
3. Roll the dough into balls and press down with the palm of your hand to desired size.
4. The cookies will not spread.
5. Place a sliced almond on top for accent.
6. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.
