A cookie is a type of food that's been around for centuries. They come in all shapes and sizes, but they always contain flour mix with sugar or some type of other sweeteners like honey to flavor them up! Some popular additions might be raisins or chocolate chips depending on your preferences.
Sesame Seed Cookies are the perfect treat to serve with your favorite beverage. These authentic Italian cookies are so easy to make, they can be eaten as is or accompanied by tea for an extra special flavor experience! The crunchy outer and slightly soft center means you get a little something in every bite; not too dry like some other treats on the market while still being satisfying enough that people won't stop at just one piece - They'll want more.
Put the oven on 350 degrees F.
In a big bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. Add in the egg and anise extract. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. If you have a mixer with a dough hook, let it mix some more so it will be light on your hand when you roll it out to make cookies.
Take small pieces of dough and roll them into logs. After that, dip the dough in milk and then roll it in sesame seeds. Then put cookies on a cookie sheet spaced out at least one inch apart from each other. Cookies will not spread very much this way.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven. Remove from the cookie sheet and place on a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
