4 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. oil
Pinch of salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 box poppy seeds
1 heaping tsp. vanilla
About 1/2 of a 2 lb. bag of flour (as much as needed)

Mix all ingredients together in electric mixer. Roll out onto a board coated with flour, roll to 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut with a round cookie cutter about 3 1/4 inches in diameter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a greased and floured cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until light golden brown. With metal spatula transfer to a rack to cool.

When I was a little girl, my Mother always baked these cookies. They were her specialty; they are a hard cookie and we used to dip them in hot tea or milk. Sometimes she would let me help her cut them out, and I was in all my glory baking with her.
