How do I make sesame cookies? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Butter must be of high quality, in accordance with GOST. Take it out of the fridge in advance so it has time to soften. Prime grade wheat flour can be replaced with whole grain or first grade flour.

Transfer the soft butter to a bowl, pour sugar or a sugar substitute, which is not afraid of heat treatment.

Add the vanilla sugar or vanillin at the tip of the knife. With a dosage of vanillin, be careful, as if you overdo it, the taste of the pastry will be spoiled.

Wipe the oil mixture until homogeneous with a fork.

Drive in one egg. Stir. Be sure to wash chicken eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. Use food detergents and a brush.

Mix together the mass.

In a separate bowl, combine all the remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt. Be sure to sift the flour to enrich it with oxygen, then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well during the baking process. Pre-mix the baking powder with a little flour and add to the dough, so it is better to distribute over the dough.

Combine the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients. Flour and baking powder can be immediately sifted into an egg-oil mixture.

Mix the dough well. Its consistency is quite viscous, thick and sticky.

Add sesame to the dough.

Stir - and our dough is ready!

Cover the baking sheet with oiled parchment paper. With a teaspoon, lay out a dough the size of a walnut at a great distance from each other, since the cookies spread very hard on the baking tray during the baking process and this must be taken into account. I baked in two batches, as all the blanks on one baking sheet did not fit.

So that the oven has time to warm up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance, 10-20 minutes before the start of cooking. Bake the cookies at 180 degrees oven until golden. Make sure that it does not burn at the edges.

Taking the baking sheet with the finished biscuits out of the oven, let it cool. The biscuits are hot and soft and sticky, but should cool down - and it turns into crisp and is easily removed from the parchment.

Make the tea and treat. The main thing is to stop in time and not eat everything at once, since the cookies are quite high in calories!

Have a nice tea party!
