Cream butter with sugar in an electric mixer, adding
sugar slowly. Beat 20 minutes or until the consistency
of whipped cream. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a
time. Beat well after each addition. Take from mixer.
With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in 4 cups
of flour sifted together with baking powder. Knead in
remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft
non-sticky dough is achieved. If large eggs are used,
a little more flour may be needed. Pinch off dough
the size of a walnut and roll pencil thin, fold in
half side by side and twist. Brush with beaten egg
yolk and press sesame seeds on each piece. Place on
cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
or until golden brown.

Makes 50 to 60 cookies.
