Sesame Refrigerator Cookies

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. cold water

Directions
Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and mix well. Stir in 1/3 cup of the sesame seeds (the remaining seeds will be used later). Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together, then add to the creamed mixture gradually, alternating with the water. Mix well. Press evenly into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan that has been lined with waxed paper. Cover and chill overnight or longer. To bake, slice loaf into half lengthwise, then cut into slices 1/8 inch thick. Place each slice on a cookie sheet then sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds and press into dough.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until light brown. Makes approximately 7 dozen.
