These little cookies can be served at Pesach or other holidays. Sprinkling
with poppy seeds adds to the flavour and gives them a festive air.
Use margarine rather than butter to make the cookies pareve, so that they
can be eaten any time.
1. Cream the margarine and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs and
water and mix well. Add the rice flour, baking powder and cardamom and
blend together into a dough.
2. Oil a baking sheet lightly. Take 1 heaping teaspoon of dough for each
cookie, roll it into a ball, then press it down to 1/4 inch thickness on
the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
Bake the cookies in a 350*F oven for 20 minutes. Cool well. Store in a
cookie tin or jar.
