Time 35m

Yield 4 Dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb butter
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/8 cup milk
4 cups flour
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add 2 eggs and blend well. Add milk and orange juice and beat on high for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add flour to butter mixture and beat well until a soft dough is formed (add a bit more flour if needed, until dough is no longer sticky but soft).
  • Pinch off 1″ balls of dough and shape into a 6″ long rope. Braid the two ends together and place one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Beat the remaining egg with the 2 tablespoons of water. Brush each cookie with egg wash. You may sprinkle with sesame seeds at this point, if desired.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Cool on rack. These store and freeze well, just place in freezer bags or containers.
  • 4 Dozen.
