Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.5 cup Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum (omit if included in the flour blend)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum if using. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the sesame seeds using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball with your fingers to about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
