DO NOT ADD ALL THE WATER I made the mistake of trusting the recipe and added it all at once. I followed the whole thing to the letter It results in a soft SOGGY CAKE MIXTURE Now I must keep the mix in the fridge until I can buy more butter and sugar to make twice the dough Untrustworthy so far

A crispy cookie with the nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds. I added too much water so the dough was too soft to roll. Besides I'm too lazy to roll, cut and then roll in seeds. I used my cookie scoop and rolled the balls in the seeds. I'm not sure how long they were in the oven but I don't think it was 30 minutes.
