Time 50m

Yield 18 small cookies, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 medium egg
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup pistachio nut, chopped
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted to lightly golden

Steps:

  • FOR THE COOKIES: In a mixing bowl, combine sugar & butter & stir together with a wooden spoon until completely blended.
  • Add rest of the cookie ingredients & blend with your hands until there is a soft dough. (If too soft to work with immediately, refrigerate for 1 hour.).
  • Divide dough into 18 pieces to make small baraziq.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Shape each ball of dough with your hands until you have a thin disk about 2 1/2 inches across, & place it on a large platter. Repeat with the other pieces of dough.
  • FOR THE GARNISH: Put the egg white in a saucer, the pistachio nuts in another saucer & the sesame seeds in a third saucer.
  • Dip each of the shaped disks in the egg white, then in the pistachios ON ONE SIDE ONLY & then in the toasted sesame seeds on the other side, making sure you coat them well with the seeds.
  • Arrange the coated disks, pistachio side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 25-35 minutes or until cookies are golden brown, then let cool before serving. Keep uneaten cookies up to 2 weeks in a tightly sealed container.
