Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Put the butter and sugar into the bowl of a mixer and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time with the mixer running and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat. Next, add the flour mixture and beat until well incorporated.
- To form the cookies, divide the dough in half and roll into logs 1-inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 3-inch lengths. Dip each piece of dough into the cream and then roll in the sesame seeds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place in the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let cool and serve. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
