I got this recipe off a PBS television special on Christmas cookies. These are absolutely delicious with a hot cup of tea! Ingredients:
1 lb butter or 1 lb margarine |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 egg yolks, beaten |
1/4 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
4 -5 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
sesame seeds |
beaten egg white |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter& sugar until very light& fluffy.
4. Add egg yolks, milk, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon& baking soda; mix well.
5. Gradually add flour, about 1 cup at a time, until dough is no longer sticky (dough should not stick to your hands, but should not be too dry).
6. Dough should be easy to handle without chilling.
7. Take a 1 lump of dough, and roll into a 6 log on work surface.
8. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds on work surface; roll log over seeds.
9. Form log into a ring or twist; place on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
10. Brush each ring or twist with egg white.
11. Bake 15-17 minutes or until light golden brown.
12. Cool completely on wire rack.
13. Store in airtight container.
