Directions:PREPARATION:
I make the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator overnight or at least for a few hours. Remove from refrigerator and let get to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and a few drops of anise flavoring. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture to form a soft dough. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into small thumb size logs (about 1 ½ to 2 inches long and about ½ inch thick). You may want to flour hands before shaping cookies. Put sesame seeds shallow bowl or plate. Roll cookie logs in sesame seeds to coat. (Optional: Pour milk and a few drops of anise flavoring in a shallow bowl. Put sesame seeds in another shallow bowl or plate. Dip dough into milk and then roll them in sesame seeds to coat.) Place on a greased or parchment covered cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes. Ever oven is different. I put my cookies for ten minutes on the bottom of the oven and then ten minutes on the top of the oven to get brown. Test your oven with a small batch to make sure. |
