Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Stir in the sesame seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll them into balls.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between each ball.
Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the sesame cookies once they have cooled down and enjoy!
