Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, mix all ingredients except yolk and seeds until it looks like crumbly, streusel topping. Turn onto counter and knead just until it comes together into a uniform dough.
Alternately, by hand, knead all ingredients except yolk and seeds just until dough comes together into a uniform dough.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out using a foot-shaped cutter and lay on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Brush with yolk and sprinkle with seeds. Re-roll scraps and cut out more feet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until just a bit brown around the edges.
