How to Make Sesame Koulourakia Biscuits
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking ammonia, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the sesame seeds.
- Divide the dough in half, roll each half into a long rope (about 1 inch thick).
- Cut each rope into 2-inch pieces.
- Shape each piece into a crescent or other desired shape. You can also twist them slightly for a more elegant look.
- Place the shaped biscuits onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Let the koulourakia cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
