Sesame Cookies

"When are you making cookies?", asked Thing One. When I thought back, I realised it was nearly a month since I had last made cookies, and set about rectifying the lapse. Since there weren't too many ingredients at home, I picked a recipe which used only those ingredients that I did have. The result is very different.

2 cups maida

3/4 cups sugar, powdered

2 tbsp rice flour
3/4 cups oil

1/4 cups milk

3/4 cups sesame seeds
1 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

Method:
Sieve the maida, baking powder, powdered sugar, salt and rice flour together till well mixed.
Add the oil, mix well, till you get a consistency of bread crumbs.
Add milk and knead to a soft dough- it should not crumble if you roll it out. Add a few drops of milk if needed. If the mixture is too wet/ sticky add a little more flour.Roll it into a log and wrap with a cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll into balls, and flatten into discs.
Bake in a pre heated oven at180 degrees for 10-12  minutes/ side start to brown. Keep checking after 10 minutes, and keep some water in the lower tray to ensure the cookies do not get too dry.
Cool and serve in an airtight container.
