Cook Time: 12

Total Time: 27

Ingredients

2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
½ cup (113 g) butter, softened
½ cup (106 g) sugar
½ cup (106 g) brown sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon vanilla
Zest of one lemon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and poppy seeds. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and lemon zest and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk. Mix well.
Drop the dough by small tablespoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. The cookies should be puffy and fairly light in color when they are finished baking. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet.
Move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
