Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the sesame seeds on a baking sheet.

Transfer to a bowl and cool.
Using a wooden spoon, beat the butter and cheese together in a bowl until they are well blended.
Blend in the Worcestershire sauce.
In another bowl, stir together the flour, cayenne, mustard, salt and sesame seeds.
Gradually stir into the butter mixture to make a stiff dough, then knead to blend all the ingredients evenly.
Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into marble-sized balls.
Place them about an inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Flatten with the tines of a fork in a crisscross pattern.
