Greek Poppy Seed Strivers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 15 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Lightly spoon 2 cups flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl using a whisk; make a well in the center.
• Stir yogurt, buttermilk, butter, eggs, poppy seeds, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring just until batter is moist. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 18 minutes. Remove muffins from cups immediately and place on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit. Grease (or line) cookie sheets.
• 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).
