Eggless Japanese Sesame Cookies

The next cookie inline is the Japanese Sesame cookies. I have made this eggless, but in Japan most of them are made with eggs. 

Japan is called the land of rising Sun. Yes it is the far east side in our globe and is kind of a collection of islands. I have interacted with Japanese people during my work. They are very hard working people and also the Japanese generally live a long life. The average life expectancy of Japanese is 83 whereas the average life expectancy on an Indian is 68. I haven't tried much of Japanese cuisine until now. I guess these cookies are the first one.

I have added both black and white sesame seeds and as usual followed Gayathri's instructions. The only problem was that I used coconut oil and H felt coconut oil doesn't go well with this cookies. Probably should have tried with olive oil. But the cookies tasted absolutely delicious.

Country: Japan

Ingredients:

Oil-3/4 cup

Sugar-3/4 cup

Milk-1/4 cup

Flour/ Maida- 1 3/4 cups ( I used 2 cups but the dough was crumbly)

Baking Powder-1 tsp

Salt-a pinch

Black and White Sesame Seeds-3/4 cup

Method:

• Powder sugar in a mixer jar.
• Add it with oil and mix well.
• Add the sesame seeds to it and mix.
• In another bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add this to the oil mixture and mix to form a soft slightly thin dough.
• Divide mixture into two. Place them in cling wrap and shape into rolls. Refrigerate until firm.
• Cut into 1/4″ slices and arrange on a baking tray. If it crumbles, then shape into round cookies and arrange on a tray.
• Bake in a preheated oven of 180°C for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow the cookie to cool in the tray.
• Remove with a spatula and arrange on a wire rack.
