Recipe for Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus mroe for surface

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.  Stir in seeds.

Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 6 minutes.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture.  Divide dough in half.  Shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic.  Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius.  Roll out dough 1 disk at a time under 6mm thickness on a lightly floured surface.  Using templates, cut out letters with a paring knife.  Cut out letters from dough and freeze on a lined baking sheet until firm, 15 minutes.

Bake until edges are golden, 15-18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.  Let cookeis cool on sheets set on wire racks.
