Crispy shortbread cookies with sesame seeds

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make sesame cookies? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Butter must be of high quality, complying with GOST. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften. Premium wheat flour can be replaced with whole grain or first grade flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place soft butter in a bowl, add sugar or a sweetener that is not susceptible to heat treatment.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add vanilla sugar or vanillin at the tip of a knife. Be careful with the dosage of vanillin, as if you overdo it, the taste of the baked goods will be ruined.

4. STEP 4

   

   Using a fork, mash the butter mixture until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat in one egg. Stir. Be sure to wash chicken eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. Use food grade detergents and a brush.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix the mass.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a separate bowl, combine all remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt. Be sure to sift the flour to enrich it with oxygen, then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during the baking process. Pre-mix the baking powder with a small amount of flour and add it to the dough, so it will be better distributed throughout the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Combine dry ingredients with liquid. Flour and baking powder can be sifted directly into the egg-butter mixture.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix the dough well. Its consistency is quite viscous, thick and sticky.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add sesame seeds to the dough.

11. STEP 11

    

    Stir and our dough is ready!

12. STEP 12

    

    Line a baking sheet with oiled parchment paper. Use a teaspoon to place the dough the size of a walnut at a large distance from each other, since the cookies spread very much on the baking sheet during baking and this must be taken into account. I baked in two batches, since all the preparations did not fit on one baking sheet.

13. STEP 13

    

    To ensure that the oven has time to warm up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance, 10-20 minutes before the start of cooking. Bake cookies at 180 degrees oven until golden brown. Make sure it doesn't burn around the edges.

14. STEP 14

    

    After removing the baking sheet with the finished cookies from the oven, let it cool. The cookies are soft and sticky when hot, but as soon as they cool, they turn crispy and are easily removed from the parchment.

15. STEP 15

    

    Brew tea and help yourself. The main thing is to stop in time and not eat everything at once, since the cookies are quite high in calories!

16. STEP 16

    

    Enjoy your tea!

I used to make these cookies often, but then I somehow forgot about the recipe. But in vain! But I repeated it again! The sesame cookies are simply amazing! Tender, crispy, with a pleasant sesame taste. Very original. Here they sell something similar in expensive confectionery shops))) But here you can cook it yourself. Sesame cookies are prepared very simply and quickly, using inexpensive ingredients. I take 150 grams of sesame seeds, the rest is according to the recipe. I don’t always add apple cider vinegar (lemon juice), only when it’s available. For my taste, there is no difference. The main thing is to place the dough at a sufficient distance from each other so that the cookies do not stick together, since during the baking process the cookies spread a lot. I get two and a half trays of these cookies. I bake for about 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the parchment when they have cooled. Many thanks to the author for such an original recipe. I definitely recommend these sesame cookies!!!

I once bought similar cookies in a store and really liked them. But how can I imagine how much vegetable fat there is... Now I saw the recipe and remembered that I wanted to cook something similar. Thanks for the recipe, I saved it in my piggy bank, if I have sesame seeds at home, I’ll make it :)
