  • 2 tsp vanilla extra 
  • 1 cup sesame seeds 
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk

  • With the hook attachment start mixing, add shortening a chunk at a time and using a spatula move flour from side of the bowl to the center to mix properly.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla.
  • Add milk a little at a time and check for dough consistency. It needs to be a soft dough.
  • Move to work surface and sprinkle some flour to avoid sticking. Knead for a few minutes then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • As the dough is resting toast the sesame seeds in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven (180 Celsius) to a golden color. Let them cool completely.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and cut in multiple pieces. Do not add flour to work surface otherwise sesame seeds will not stick.
  • Roll dough creating 1 inch wide logs. Cut about 1 1/2 inches long pieces and roll in sesame seeds.
  • Space on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes or until golden.
  • They store well in an airtight container up to two weeks.
