Directions
Sesame Rings,These Sephardic Jewish cookies from Spain are traditionally served at Sabbath dinners and on holidays. A mild cookie, not too sweet, with a pleasant sesame flavor from the addition of the tahini paste. I prefer to form smaller rings than the recipe calls for, about 3″ around, which look more dainty on the cookie platter.

Preheat the Oven to 375 Degrees F. Line 2 Baking Sheets Parchment, or Coat Them With Nonstick Cooking Spray (must Do This or Cookies Will Stick to Tray!). |

to Form the Rings: Pinch Off a Walnut-Sized Piece of Dough and Roll It Into a Rope That Is About 5 Inches Long and 3/8-Inch Thick. (for Smaller Rings use About a 2-3" Piece of Dough). Dust Your Hands and the Parchment Lightly With Flour If the Dough Is Sticky. Pinch the Ends of the Rope Together to Form a Ring. Repeat Until All the Dough Has Been Formed Into Rings. (tip: I Find It Works Well to Roll the Ring Fat and Short at First Before You Pinch It Together. Then You Can Use Your Finger to Stretch the Dough Out and the Hole Won't End Up Too Large in the End). |
