Ingredients
- 250 g butter - at room temperature (or 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 450 g all-purpose flour
- 1-2 egg yolks (for brushing the cookies with)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (alternatively, use nigella seeds or black cumin seeds)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven at 180°C (or 350°F), conventional heating.
- In a mixing bowl, combine room-temperature butter, cooking oil, and vinegar. To avoid over-processing, simply use your hands, a small whisk, a wooden spoon, or a spatula.
- Add the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder to the mixture. Using your hands, knead until you obtain a homogenous dough.
- For shaping, either: Roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter for desired shapes, or pinch out walnut-sized pieces of dough, then roll these into balls.
- Roll each piece between your hands to create rods, then shape as desired.
- Arrange the cookies on a lined baking tray. Brush the tops of the cookies with egg yolk, sprinkle with sesame (or cumin) seeds on top, and bake for 11 -14 minutes, or until golden brown and done.
- Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool before serving.

Notes
- Leave some space between the cookies in the baking tray; they will expand during baking.
- While sesame seeds enhance the cookies' appearance, they also elevate the taste. Don't skip them!
- Once baked and cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Stored properly, they will keep for several weeks.
- We tested this recipe with both chilled and unchilled dough, with no significant difference in the outcome.
