Ingredients

  • large eggs 
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom 
  • teaspoon poppy seeds 
  • 0.8 cup powdered sugar 
  • 1.5 cups rice flour white plus more for rolling
  • teaspoon rosewater 
  • 0.5 cup butter unsalted room temperature (1 stick)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • whisk
  • blender
  • hand mixer

Directions

  1. Whisk cardamom and 1 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Add egg and rose water and beat to blend.
  3. Reduce mixer to low speed; gradually mix in dry ingredients (dough will be stiff). Cover and chill at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 300°. Scoop level tablespoonfuls of dough and, using lightly floured hands, roll into balls.
  5. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2" apart. Using a fork or another utensil that can make a decorative pattern in dough, flatten balls to a 1/4" thickness. (Alternatively, flatten balls and make an indentation in the centers with your thumb.)
  6. Sprinkle cookies with poppy seeds.
  7. Bake cookies until firm but still pale, 20- 25 minutes.
  8. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
  9. DO AHEAD: Cookies can be baked 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
