Greek Easter cookies - (Koulourakia)



INGREDIENTS:
 	
        • 	1-1/2 cups butter
	• 	6 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
	• 	2 cups sugar
	• 	6 tsp baking powder
	• 	1 tsp baking soda
	• 	juice of 1/2 lemon
        •      2 tsp vanilla extract
	• 	2 pounds all-purpose flour
	• 	1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds or 1 cup powdered sugar
METHOD:
Beat butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time.  Beat until sugar has dissolved and
batter is smooth.  Stir baking powder and baking soda into 2 cups flour and add to
batter.  Add the remaining ingredients, but do not add all the remaining flour at
once.  When you get a soft, elastic dough that doesn't stick to your fingers, stop
adding flour.  You may not use all the flour.  Let the dough rest for 30 minutes at
room temperature.  Preheat oven to 350 F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment
paper.  Take heaping tablespoonsful of dough, roll in sesame seeds (if desired),
and form into S or O shapes.  Place cookies onto prepared baking sheet.  Beat 1
egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water and brush over cookies.  Bake until golden brown.
Remove from oven and, if you did not use the sesame seeds, roll cookies in
powdered sugar while still warm.
