Ingredients

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup absinthe

1/4 cup sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cloves, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together sugar and olive oil until combined. Add absinthe and beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat until a dough forms. Dough may be slightly crumbly, but you should be able to press it together easily in your hands. Roll dough into 24 walnut-sized balls. Place sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Dip the top of each ball in sesame seeds. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet. Bake cookies until dry and slightly golden, about 20 minutes.
