Sift flour, place in the freezer to chill. Bake sesame seeds at 150C without preheating the oven for 10-15 minutes. Leave aside to cool.
Beat butter, icing sugar and salt till soft and creamy. Add egg yolks and mix well. Add flour and sesame seeds and fold in with a spatula.
Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper and shape into a 12x7x2.5 cm rectangle.
Wrap dough in cling film/baking paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven 160C. Slice chilled cookie dough in 5-7mm thick bars. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for about 20 mins until golden brown. Let cool on wire rack.
Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
