Directions: |
Directions:Combine butter and eggs and blend well. Add sugar, vanilla, and mix well until sugar breaks down. Combine flour and baking powder. Add 1 C of flour at a time until well blended. When dough becomes too sticky for beaters in mixer, remove and place on a surface to add and blend remaining flour by hand. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Roll in strands about pencil thick. Cut off pieces (Can be any length you like - usually cookies are about 2-3 inches long), and make a loop to braid two strands together. Brush cookies with egg white and roll in sesame seeds. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350º until lightly golden. |

Notes: This recipe was a celebration of our, also, "Greek" heritage that Eleanor always included in the many cookies she baked at holidays. It is a Greek version of a biscotti coffee cookie.
