Sequilhos

To make sequilhos, you will need cornstarch, butter, sugar, and eggs. The dough is mixed together and then shaped into small balls. The cookies are then baked until they are lightly golden. Sequilhos are a popular treat in Brazil, and are often served with coffee or tea. They are also a great option for those who are gluten-free, as they do not contain any wheat flour.
