- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 large Eggs(yolk for dough, white for glaze)

👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 6-8 inches long.

Braid two ropes together for each cookie, or simply twist them into desired shapes. Place the cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with a tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the cookies with the egg wash.

Generously sprinkle the sesame seeds over the egg-washed tops of the cookies, pressing gently to adhere.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisp.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
