• Pull off small portions of dough and roll between palms of the hands into a roll about finger size. Roll in sesame seeds.

• Swirl the mixture out on an ungreased cookie sheet. I like making my cookies 1.5 x 1.5 inches so there are enough swirls, they look snail/turd like. They don't spread so having about an inch apart from the cookies will be fine.
• Bake for 11-15 minutes. If you like your cookies softer, leave them in for 11 minutes. Longer will be crispier.
