I wanted something a little different from the standard Russian tea cakes recipe, and I came up with this. These are easy to make yet elegant. I prefer them with unsalted butter, but some people like the salted butter better.

Time 1h35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ cup poppy seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my tea cakes turned out a little dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I'm not a big fan of poppy seeds, but I really enjoyed these tea cakes. The poppy seeds were not overpowering at all.
