Ingredients
Directions:
Start with your dry ingredients: Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a medium-sized bowl and set aside. Whip the butter and sugar in a large bowl, and blend in eggs and vanilla. Once this mix is fluffy, you can stir in the flour mixture, half a cup at a time, to make the dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface. Shape the cookies, using about a tablespoon for each one. Then dip the cookies in milk and roll in sesame seeds until fully coated. Place on an oiled cookie sheet and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until browned. Remove from tray, cool and serve.
