12 tablespoons | Butter |
1 cup | Sugar, brown |
1 \N | Eggs |
1 cup | Flour |
½ teaspoon | Baking powder |
1 teaspoon | Vanilla extract |
¾ cup | Sesame seeds |
Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter until soft, then gradually beat in sugar and egg until mixture is fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Add vanilla and sesame seeds and mix well. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, about 1-½" apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
Let cookies rest a minute, then remove immediately from baking sheet.
If cookies harden before removal, return to oven for a minute to soften.
"These cookies can be frozen, or will keep well in tightly-covered container."
