- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 3⁄4 cup white sugar

- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour (I would NOT suggest wheat)

- In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in the extracts and gradually mix in the flour. Blend well.
- Add in the Poppy-seeds and seperate the dough into several inch-round spheres.
- Heres the fun part, you can mold these cookies into just about any shape, the dough is very pliable, I made some into triangles, circles, squares, even letters or animals-you choose.
- Once your cookie(s) possess the desired shape, you may lay them out on ypur pre-prepared pan and pop 'em in the oven(I would reccomend the middle rack).
- Let them bake for 10-12 minutes until a golden brown, be sure that they're nice and firm too- just not burnt.
- Let them cool slightly and enjoy.
- (P.S. if the bottoms are a little darker than the top, do not be alarmed for this is normal).
