- 100 g Unsalted butter(Softened to room temperature)

In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
โฑ๏ธ 5-7 minutes - 2
Add the rice flour, rose water, and egg yolk to the creamed butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed or by hand until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
โฑ๏ธ 3-5 minutes - 3
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 160ยฐC (320ยฐF). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
โฑ๏ธ 30 minutes (chilling) - 4
Roll the chilled dough into small balls, about 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 inches) in diameter. Alternatively, use small cookie cutters or press the dough into decorative molds. Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
โฑ๏ธ 10-15 minutes - 5
Gently press a few poppy seeds onto the top of each cookie for decoration. You can also use a small stamp or the back of a fork to create a pattern.
โฑ๏ธ 2-3 minutes - 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are just set. They should not brown significantly. They will be very delicate when warm.
โฑ๏ธ 12-15 minutes - 7
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
โฑ๏ธ 10-15 minutes (cooling)
