Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Melt butter and stir until cool, gradually mix in sugar. Place flour in a mixing bowl. Add 4 well beaten eggs, mix baking powder to the flour. Alternate placing into the mix juice and vanilla until all has been added. Dough should be the consistency to roll when done but not sticky. Take about one inch round of dough and roll into whatever shape you want. We do twists, braids and pretzel shapes. Spray cookie trays with Pam. Place each of your shapes onto cookie bake sheet. Beat egg and using a pastry brush, brush each shape with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Put in oven at 375 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. |

Notes: These cookies are not only a favorite of the Greek people but also of the Sephardic Jewish People (Turkish Jews) and loved by everyone who has ever tried them of every nationality. We enjoyed making these cookies during the holidays. Our children and grandchildren love this recipe.
