 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      4 c  Sifted flour
      1 c  Sugar
      1 tb Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 c  Shortening
      2    Eggs, slightly beaten
    1/2 c  Milk
    1/4 lb Sesame seeds (about 2/3 to
    3/4    Cup)
 
  Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. Heat the oven to 375F. Sift together
  the flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt into a bowl. Cut in the
  shortening with a pastry blender or two knives, until the pieces are
  the size of small peas. Stir in the eggs & the milk (1 tablespoon at
  a time) to make a soft dough. Mix together thoroughly. Break the
  dough into small pieces & roll each between the palms of your hands
  to form rolls about 1 1/2 inches in length. Flatten the rolls
  slightly & roll them in the sesame seeds. Place about 3/4 inch apart
  on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until
  thee cookies are lightly browned. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
