Chinese Sesame Cookies

"These are very interesting cookies. This recipe was given to me from a friend, and ..unfortunately I dont know how many it makes because Ive never made them personally. I know it makes quite a few cookies, but Im really not sure and I havent been able to find out. Please ignore yield. If I figure out how many it makes i will let you know. If you figure it out, please...let me know so I can make the changes.. or you can even make the changes. Ive tried them before, however.. and they are delicious ;-) Prep time doesnt include the 6-8 hours chilling time."

  1. Delicious and so easy! I wasn't sure of the butter amount in cups so I used two sticks (1 cup) and maybe should have used a bit less as they cookies spread a bit. I made about 4 dozen tiny cookies which we all enjoyed with shrimp salad. Thanks for sharing!

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much. I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on... I hope you enjoy my recipes...
