These Italian Sesame Seed Cookies are a traditional family favorite made with a simple, tender cookie dough and plenty of nutty, toasted sesame seeds.
They're lightly sweet, crisp around the edges, and delicious with a cup of espresso or coffee.
This is my family's recipe, passed down from my grandmother, who came from Rome, Italy. She always kept a tray of these Italian sesame cookies ready for family and guests.
That's one of the reasons I love family recipes so much. Every time we make them, we keep a little piece of the people who came before us alive.
If you've ever enjoyed those classic Italian bakery cookies covered in sesame seeds, this is the recipe you'll want to keep.
As a child, I didn't appreciate them quite as much as I do now. Give me a chocolate chip cookie back then and I was happy!
But as I grew older, I began to appreciate the simple, old-fashioned Italian cookies I grew up with.
