   1      c             Unsalted butter -- softened
     1/2  c             Sugar
     1/4  ts            Salt
   2                    Eggs
   1 1/2  c             Prepared poppyseed paste
   2 3/4  c             Flour
                        Topping:
     1/4  c             Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle of oven.

Combine butter, sugar, and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a
paddle, if you have one, and beat at medium speed until creamy. Add
the eggs and poppyseed paste and beat until incorporated. Reduce
speed to slow and slowly add the flour. Beat until incorporated.
Using 2 soup spoons, drop tablespoon dollops of batter 1" apart onto
a lightly buttered or non-stick cookie sheet. Place cookies in the
oven for 15 minutes. Edges should be light golden brown when done.
Remove from oven and let cool completely, then sprinkle cookies with
powdered sugar.
