Ingredients
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter cubed and at room temperature
- 1 large egg beaten, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest optional
- 1/4 cup (60g) milk plus more for the dough, if needed
- 1 cup (142g) raw sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the beaten egg and lemon zest and mix until the dough is formed. It will be crumbly. Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of milk. Once the dough ball is formed, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. While the dough is resting, spread the sesame seeds out onto a plate and pour the milk into a shallow bowl.
- Cut the dough ball into 4 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a 1/2-inch thick rope.
- Cut the log into 2-inch long pieces, then lightly dip in the milk and roll in the sesame seeds until coated.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart and bake for 30 minutes until golden.
- Allow the reginelle to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- If when you're forming the dough you find it's too dry, add a touch of milk to help bring it together.
- Reginelle cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
- This recipe was written for a conventional oven. For convection ovens, reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and begin checking for doneness at the 75% mark.
