Time 50m

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 small lemon
1 cup milk
2 cups sesame seeds

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.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA



The Perfect Margarita image

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.
