Allow the dough to rest for about 15 mins. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and press in between the palms to form a cookie shape.
After shaping the cookies brush the cookies with milk and add in the Poppy Seeds as topping for the cookies. Or you can use a cookie cutter to bring in the desired shape. In a baking tray line a parchment paper and arrange the cookies.
Preheat the oven for about 180 Deg for 10 mins and then bake it for about 12-15 mins at 180 deg C. Keep a watch after 12 mins. Remove from the oven once the cookie turns golden brown in color as the baking time may vary from oven to oven. Once it’s baked remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Store it in an airtight container.
