Semolina Cookies

Method

1. Mix the oil and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
2. The dry ingredients including semolina, all-purpose flour and baking powder are added to the oil-sugar mixture. Mix the ingredients well until the dough becomes crumbly.
3. Wrap the dough in a baking sheet or cling film and put it in the freezer for 5-10 mins.
4. After 5-10 mins, take the wrapped dough out of the freezer and shape the dough into two small round cookies of approx. two and half inches each.
5. In the meanwhile, preheat the oven up to 180 °C (356 °F) for 10 minutes.
6. Take a container and mix oil and egg yolk in it. Using a brush, apply this mixture on the cookies and then sprinkle some sesame seeds and press the cookie gently at the centre with a finger to place almonds.
7. Grease the baking tray with a little oil using a brush and then place these round cookies on the baking tray leaving enough space between. They will only spread a little.
8. Bake the cookies up to 15-20 minutes.
9. Take out the tray from the oven and let the cookies to cool completely until they are converted from soft (when hot) to crunchy cookies.
