Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 85 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 30 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets 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 the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Serve and enjoy!
