Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or the palm of your hand to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are slightly firm.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet 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.
