Lemon-Basil Cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Parchment paper

1. Beat first 7 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
2. Stir together flour and next 2 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended after each addition.
3. Shape dough into 4 logs (about 2 inches in diameter); wrap each log in plastic wrap. Chill 8 hours to 3 days.
4. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks, and cool completely (about 20 minutes).
