Sesame seed laced butter cookie dough is amped up even further by the use of orange juice in place of milk or water. Honey mixed with egg and milk glazes the tops before baking to sweet deliciousness. We made these at school for the start of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, since the cookies are ring shaped and are based off an ancient Greek celebration cookie (according to my recipe card from Home Ec 16 years ago!
