4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sesame seeds

Prep :	Cook : 60M	Ready in :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheet.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cardamom in a large bowl. Cut shortening in with a pastry blender or knives until the size of small peas.
Stir in eggs, lightly beaten, and lemon extract. Stir in milk on tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition.
