Sweet and salty Sesame cookies
Having a Tea party? Make these, they will be a great complement to your sandwiches/salad menu with tea.
Had these cookies at Ulfet’s house, they are crispy and delicious.
Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 turkish teacup oil,
1 tbsp yoghurt,
1 egg yolk and white seperated,
1 1/2 turkish teacup sugar powdered,
1 tsp baking powder,
2 cups cornstarch,
approx 2 cups flour
Mix the butter, egg yolk, oil and yoghurt together, then add the sugar and baking powder to this. Mix the cornstarch into these, and finally add the flour little bit at a time. The dough should not be soft (as we have for breads or pizza bases).
Make little balls, or the shape shown in picture and then dip them in egg white and then in sesame seeds to coat them completely.
Arrange on baking tray and bake at 350 deg F, till you get the smell of cookies. They should be little pinkish in color, not gold.
Let it cool and then enjoy with tea!
