Ingredients
-
3 3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. lard
2 egg yolks
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. milk or less
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 c. sesame seed
Preparation
-
Sift the flour, sugar and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl and cut in the lard until the mixture reaches the texture of a coarse meal.
Add egg yolks, vanilla and as much milk as necessary to hold the dough together.
Knead for a minute and then shape the dough into finger shaped pieces, about 1 1/2-inches long.
Roll each piece first in egg whites, then in the sesame seed so that is well covered with a layer of seeds.
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350\u00b0 oven about 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
