Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Sesame seeds (white)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 100 grams Butter (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cardamom powder, and salt into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until the dough starts to come together.
Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, and knead gently to form a smooth, pliable dough. Avoid over-kneading the dough.
Place the sesame seeds on a shallow plate. Scoop out a small portion of the dough (about the size of a walnut), roll it into a ball, and then flatten it slightly into a disc.
Press one side of the dough disc into the sesame seeds, ensuring they stick well. Repeat for all the cookies.
Arrange the cookies seed-side-up on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each cookie for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the sesame seed cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee!
