It was a much nicer weekend for running in CNY. The roads were clear and the weather slightly warmer. It would have been a lot warmer if I chose to run later in the day but no.

Today, we have Mella’s Grandson’s recipe for Sesame Cookies, on page 162 of our book There is another recipe on page 163 posted by Carm Guarnieri which is very much the same.

Loved these cookies! *The recipe below is 1/2 the recipe from the book which resulted in 2 doz. cookies 2 cups flour [...]
