Poppy Seed Tea Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, or as needed

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cream together the butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth in a bowl. Stir in the poppy seeds and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour until just combined. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and place 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to cool slightly, then roll warm cookies in the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until coated. Cool completely on wire racks, then roll in sugar once more.
