ITALIAN SESAME COOKIES

A staple on every Italian table at Christmas, for a good reason.. There are many variations to this cookie, I prefer this one because I love vinilla flavor.. These are the finest cookie I can think of to dunk into my morning coffee! Afternoon too! OK after dinner they are also great!

• 1/4 c. butter
• 1 c. sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tbsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 c. flour
• 3/4 tbsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 3 cups sesame seeds for topping

Mix batter together and chill several hours or overnight. Roll pieces in shape like fingers, then roll in sesame seeds. Cook on ungreased pan at 350 degrees until light brown. Can double ingredients, if desired.
