They are unusual, delicious, and melt right on your tongue.

What will you need for poppy seed rolls?

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of ground poppy seeds
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 bag vanilla sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup of butter
1 egg yolk
For coating: powdered sugar + vanilla sugar

Method:

Sift the icing sugar with the plain flour into a bowl, add the other ingredients, and make a smooth dough.
Wrap it in foil and let the dough rest in the fridge for an hour.
Then, tear off pieces of dough and shape them into rolls of the same size, which you place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Place in an oven preheated to 320°F and bake for approximately 12-13 minutes (depending on the oven). Roll the still-warm rolls in a mixture of powdered sugar and vanilla.

You can try using spicy jam with the cookies. You can also replace cherry liquor with dark rum. Try chocolate or egg yolk instead of lemon frosting. Also, get inspired by our article on frostings for Christmas cookies.
