Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups unsalted butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 large eggs, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 5 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat on medium speed for 10 minutes. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Beat into butter mixture to form a soft, cohesive dough. Add more flour if dough is too soft to handle easily.
  • Break off 1-inch lumps of dough and roll on a floured surface into 1/4-inch-thick ropes, about 7-inches long. Cross ends and twirl dough in a loop in the opposite direction, forming a braid. Place 1 inch apart on the prepared sheets.
  • Beat remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush onto braids for glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the sheets for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
