Units Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Coating:

  • 1 cup sesame seeds (toasted if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Form cookie dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.
  6. Shape and coat cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, shape it into a small log or oval, and roll in sesame seeds.
  7. Bake: Place on baking sheet, bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden, then cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispness, toast the sesame seeds before coating the cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Enjoy with coffee or tea.
