Butter Sesame Cookies

These is Chris's mom's recipe, which she was nice enough to share with me. I took a batch up to Vermont and they went pretty quickly. The dough is pretty crumbly, but when you go to roll it into balls it should be fine.

1 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cup flour

Cream butter & sugar. Blend in vanilla. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Roll into walnut size balls. Roll in sesame seeds. Make thumbprint in each and fill with raspberry jam (or preserves, like I did).

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
