Ingredients:





     2 c  All-purpose flour


     1 ts Ground cinnamon


   3/4 c  Vegetable oil


   3/4 c  Superfine sugar


   3/4 ts Baking powder


   1/2 ts Baking soda


   1/4 c  Brandy


     1 c  Sesame seeds






 Preheat the oven to 400F.


 


 Combine the flour and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.


 


 In a medium bowl, beat the oil and sugar with an electric mixer until


 smooth and creamy.  In a cup, dissolve the baking powder and baking


 soda in the brandy, then add to the oil mixture.


 


 Gradually add the flour until the dough is soft but not sticky.  Turn


 out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.  Pinch off


 pieces of dough the size of small walnuts and form into desired


 shapes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and place 1 inch apart on greased


 cookie sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
