Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, cardamom, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Shape and bake: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into balls, place on baking sheets, flatten, and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool and store: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
