Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Take 100 grams of butter in advance from the refrigerator, put it in a bowl and leave it for 15 minutes so that it warms up at room temperature and becomes soft.
   
2. When the butter becomes pliable, add 50 g of powdered sugar into it and mix the foods well until a homogeneous mass is obtained. If you don’t have powdered sugar at hand, you can use regular white or aromatic brown sugar. This will not affect the taste of cookies.
   
3. Pour 150 grams of flour into a measuring cup. Add salt, vanillin to it and mix. Use large salt, and in the absence of vanillin, you can replace it with a teaspoon of vanilla sugar.
   
4. Knead the dough by mixing flour with butter and sugar. I advise you to add flour in parts, sifting it through a sieve.
   
5. The dough is soft and pliable. It should not stick to hands.
   
6. Divide the dough into three equal parts.
   
7. Take one and form a sausage from it about 15 × 2 cm.
   
8. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for two hours. Do the same with the other two parts.
   
9. After two hours, remove all three parts on a board or flat plate and grease them with a cooking brush with an egg previously mixed until smooth with a fork.
   
10. Mix 30 grams of sesame and 40 grams of sugar. You can fry sesame seeds before use. Constantly stirring, fry for about 2-4 minutes in a dry frying pan. This makes the cookies especially crispy, and the kitchen is covered with a pleasant nutty aroma, which only enhances the desire to quickly enjoy the cookies.
    
11. Pour the sesame and sugar mixture onto the board and smooth it evenly over the surface.
    
12. Roll sausages in sesame with sugar and cut them into pieces about two centimeters wide.
    
13. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the cookie on it. Send them to a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Make sure cookies are not burnt.
    
14. After cooking, take the treat out of the oven and let cool. Store cookies in a dry place. You can use a tin box for biscuits for these purposes. It is convenient in that it is tightly closed by a lid, without letting in moisture.
