Windmill Cookies with Poppy Seeds are truly unique, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
Ingredients:
- 125 g chopped butter
- Vanilla extract
- 110 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g finely chopped hazelnuts
- 80 g ground poppy seeds
- 60 g heated honey
- Zest of half an orange
Preparation:
Whisk together the butter, vanilla extract, sugar, and egg, then gradually add the flour. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in foil, and refrigerate for half an hour.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each out to dimensions of 20–25 cm. Mix the hazelnuts, poppy seeds, honey, and orange zest, then spread this filling evenly on both dough sheets.
Roll the dough up and chill it. Once chilled, cut it into 5 mm thick pieces and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving 2 cm of space between each piece.
Bake at 190°C for about 10 minutes, then leave them to cool on the sheet.
