Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons rosewater use less if you don’t want the flavor to be too strong
  • 1 ½ cups rice flour approx.
  • Poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine eggs and sugar with wire whisk or electric mixer at low speed. Whisk or beat until pale yellow. Stir in oil and rosewater, until blended. With a spoon or spatula, stir in rice flour until soft dough forms, adding additional flour, if necessary.
  • With hands, form dough into rounds about 1 ½ - 2 inches in diameter. Place rounds on prepared sheet pans. Use a fork to make decoration or with a teaspoon make an indentation on top of each; sprinkle poppy seeds over top.
  • Bake cookies 15 – 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. With spatula, remove from sheet pans and let cool on wire racks.
