 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2       c            All-purpose flour
    1       t            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.
