3 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter (no substitutes)
2 large eggs
1 cup plain yogurt or 1 cup vanilla yogurt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together flour, poppy seeds, salt, baking soda.
In another bowl, using a mixer, cream together sugar and butter.
Beat in eggs to the butter mixture one at a time,then beat in yogurt and vanilla.
Hand stir together the dry mixture and the butter mixture just enough to moisten ingredients- there should still be some lumps (press out any big lumps with your spoon).

Let cool on wire racks.
