- 1/8 tsp salt
- 190g plain flour

Instructions
- Place butter, sugar, essence, salt and peanut butter jam in a mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.

- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured tabletop. Roll out dough between two plastic sheets. Cut out with any desired cookie cutter.

Brush lightly with milk and press in a little of the combined peanut and sesame seed mixture in the centre of the cut-out dough.
