Champurradas

Step by stepInstructions

1. Cream the lard and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then stir into the creamed mixture to form a soft dough.
3. Chill the dough for 20 minutes so it is easier to handle.
4. Roll the dough into balls and press each into a large 4-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Brush each round with egg white and press sesame seeds generously into the surface.
6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack; the cookies firm up as they cool.
