Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
