Sesame Cookies
What you need
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 150g butter
- sesame seeds
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Make a soft dough from butter, sugar and flour. Roll balls, press each into a plate of sesame seeds, and bake fifteen minutes until the seeds toast.
How it feels to make
Pressing each one into the seeds is repetitive in a way that's actually quite calming.
Mom wrote on the back
Press them seed-side down onto the tray. That's how they toast properly.
