Delicate Greek braided egg cookies, perfect with coffee or tea and enjoyed during Easter.

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously grease two cookie sheets.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in sugar and beat for 10 minutes on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Slowly mix in the flour until a soft dough forms; add more flour if the dough is too soft.
Divide the dough into 1-inch sections and roll them on a floured surface into 1/4-inch-thick ropes, each about 7 inches long. Twist the ends and braid the dough into a loop. Place the braids on the baking sheets, ensuring they are 1 inch apart.
Whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush it over the braids for a shiny glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Simply bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow them to cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
