Steps

  1. 1

    Sift the flour, then add the cornstarch, salt, and powdered sugar. Stir to combine, then make a well in the center and add the sesame seeds and cookie spice mix.

  2. 2

    Heat the clarified butter or ghee very well, then pour it over the sesame seeds and spice mix. Stir with a wooden spoon until it cools down, then rub the mixture together with your hands until well combined.

  3. 3

    Dissolve the yeast in the water with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Once it becomes frothy, pour it over the dough mixture and gently bring the dough together without kneading. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Shape the dough into cookies, then bake immediately. The dough will rise while you finish shaping all the cookies.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven 10 minutes before baking. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes; they cook quickly because of the amount of butter and heat, so they brown and bake fast.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely.

  7. 7

    Store in airtight containers. When serving, dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
