Biscotti Regina Sesame Seed Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Put the butter and sugar into the bowl of a mixer and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time with the mixer running and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat. Next, add the flour mixture and beat until well incorporated.
• To form the cookies, divide the dough in half and roll into logs 1-inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 3-inch lengths. Dip each piece of dough into the cream and then roll in the sesame seeds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place in the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let cool and serve. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a food processor, pulse together the butter and sugar until yellow and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla and lemon zest and continue pulsing until a firm dough forms.
• Scoop off golf ball-sized pieces of dough and roll with your hands into oval shapes. Dip the cookies in the milk, then roll in the sesame seeds. Space 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until brown and toasty, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets, or cool 2 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely (if the baking sheets are needed for another batch). Cookies will last about 3 weeks in a sealed container.
