<ol>
<li>Sift the flour, ground peanuts, sugar and salt into a bowl.</li>
<li>Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until combined. You may need to add a small amount of water if the mixture seems too dry.</li>
<li>When combined, lightly knead the dough on a work surface, then leave to rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper until it is 5mm thick. Cut into discs using a 5cm biscuit cutter and place on a baking tray.</li>
<li>Brush the cookies with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place the tray of cookies in the fridge and chill for 10 minutes.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C.</li>
<li>Take the tray directly from the fridge into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.</li>
<li>These cookies will keep for a week in an airtight container.</li>
