Delightful Sesame Ring Cookies are a perfect homemade treat featuring a buttery, tender dough topped with crunchy toasted sesame seeds. These charming ring-shaped cookies combine lightly sweetened dough with a subtle hint of vanilla, ideal for tea time or festive occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Knead: Incorporate the softened unsalted butter, the egg, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Knead gently until a smooth dough forms, being careful not to overwork it to keep the cookies tender.
  3. Shape the Dough: Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a rope. Connect the ends to form rings. Using a small cookie cutter or your fingers, press star shapes gently on top of each ring to create a decorative pattern.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Sprinkle Sesame Seeds: Beat the egg for the egg wash, then brush it lightly over each dough ring. Generously sprinkle sesame seeds over the top to ensure they stick well and provide a nutty flavor.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the sesame seeds are toasted.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure easy mixing.
  • Do not over-bake to maintain a soft yet crisp texture.
  • You can substitute sesame seeds with poppy seeds or chopped nuts for variety.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • To enhance flavor, toast the sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling.
