• 4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 1 egg white, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour and salt; set aside. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the egg yolks. Gradually mix in the flour mixture to form a thick, stiff dough.

Add sesame seeds to the dough and mix well. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.

Flatten the cookies to about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg white. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
