# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Let the cookies sit on a rack till they're totally cool. Then tuck them in an airtight box.
02 - Pop them in the oven you preheated and bake about 15 to 20 minutes till they look golden.
03 - Grab small portions of dough and roll into balls. Spread them out on a baking sheet with paper underneath.
04 - Mix the sesame seeds, chopped dates, and walnuts into the dough so they're well spread out.
05 - Slowly stir the flour and baking powder mix into your wet stuff until it's all one smooth dough.
06 - Whisk the flour with baking powder in another bowl to mix everything evenly.
07 - Beat in eggs one by one, mixing each time, then pour in vanilla and stir it all together.
08 - Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl till you get a smooth, creamy mix.
09 - Turn your oven to 175 degrees Celsius so it’s ready to go.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Ovens can bake differently so keep an eye on your cookies. You can brush them with egg before baking if you want a shiny look.
02 - Keep your cookies fresh by storing them in a sealed container. They’ll stay good for about a week.
