Ingredients

    4 eggs
    4 cups flour
    1/2 cup Crisco
    1 stick unsalted butter
    1 cup Splenda
    4 tsp. baking powder
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    1 cup toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. To toast sesame seeds, spread on baking sheet and bake for about 5-10 minutes. Set aside.

Cream butter, Crisco, and Splenda until golden and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and sesame seeds. Sift flour with baking powder and add to egg mixture. Dough should be dry but not too dry. Shape into 2" to 2 1/2" rolls the size of a cigar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet (silicone mats are the BEST!) and bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. If you like them extra crisp, bake a little longer.
