MAW-MAW’S ITALIAN SESAME SEED COOKIES

Recipe By: Alice Morrow

Ingredients

1 lb. butter, room temperature
2 c. sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
5-6 c. flour (begin with 5 and add more as needed)
1 t. baking soda
Pinch of salt
4 t. milk
2 t. vanilla
Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Begin with very clean hands. In large bowl, combine butter with sugar. Stir around with your hands until mixture is well blended.
Add eggs and mix well.
Sift flour, soda and salt together and add to butter mixture.
Add milk and vanilla. Mix and add the remaining cup of flour, if necessary.
Dough should stick together but be workable or soft enough to roll into ½” diameter roll.
Cut into 3” lengths and then dip into toasted seeds.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet in 350 oven and bake 9-10 minutes. Cookie will be lightly browned. It gets crispy after it is cooled.

Notes

*****Toast sesame seeds in skillet over medium heat, about 2-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Makes 12-13 dozen cookies.
