Sesame Cookies

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into bits and softened
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Garnish:

3/4 cup sesame seeds


Preparation:

  • In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in softened butter and sour cream and blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 
  • Make a well in the center and add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Combine the mixture, incorporating the liquid gradually, until it forms a soft dough. 
  • Divide the dough into 36 pieces. Form each piece into a 3 inch log. 
  • Preheat the oven to 375º F (190º C). 
  • Roll the logs in the sesame seeds. 
  • Place on lightly greased baking sheets 1 inch apart and bake about for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. 
  • Let cookies cool on wire racks. 
  • Store in airtight containers.
