Ingredients you need to use

1. 90gm salted butter - softened. 2. Salt 1/4 teaspoon. 3. Vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon. 4Caster sugar 65gm. 5. 1 egg 45gm to 55gm (without the shell) 6. Roasted black sesame 23gm. 7. Plain flour 180gm. 8. Golden Corn Polenta Fine 60gm. 9. Baking powder 1/4 teaspoon

1. Cream the butter, salt, vanilla and sugar. Mix well

2. Pan fry your black sesame seeds

3. Add in the egg and mix well

I forgot to mix the egg first and combined everything. I addded the egg, flour, corn, sesame, baking powder and mixed together. Use low speed as the batter is a bit crumbly and flies out of the bowl.

4. Cookie batter. Yum!

This is how the batter looks like after I used the spatula to help make it into a ball. Feels a bit oily because of the butter.

5. Sprinkle flour onto a baking tray.

Flour your rolling pin. Roll out the batter onto the baking tray to about 3/4 cm and keep in the fridge to let it semi firm.

6. Flatten

This is how it looks like after rolling. Cover with cling film and put in fridge about 20 minutes. Prepare a small round or heart shaped cutter. You can use the cling flim to help you move the cut cookies to the tray.

7. Prepare 2 trays with baking sheet

Use your cutter to cut out the cookies and line them neatly onto the baking trays.

8. Baking time

Remainder batter to roll into a ball and flatten and cut again. Bake at 170 C and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or till golden colour.

9. The final product

Enjoy your cookies with your loved ones. You\'ll have made a jar of about 360gm cookies.
