Sugar cookies with colorful cherry centers and seasoned with savory poppy seed. Nice red and white color for a celibration. They've been a hit for me as part of a holiday variety cookie platter. 

Cherry Poppy Seed Twinks

Ingredients

  1 cup powdered sugar
  1 cup butter, softened
  1 tsp vanilla
  1 egg
  2 cups flour
  1/2 tsp salt
  1/2 tsp baking soda
  2 TBs poppy seed
  1/2 cup cherry preserves

Time
  15 min prep + 20 min cook

Directions

Preheat oven to 300F. Combine sugar, butter and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat well. Add flour, poppy seed, salt, baking soda and blend through. 

Drop 1 tsp balls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Make thumb-size dents in the center of each and fill with preserves.

Cookies will flatten out as they cook. Bake 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.
