Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, sift together the baking powder and all-purpose flour. (Approximately 2 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (Approximately 1 minute)

06

Step
6 mins

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

07

Step
28 mins

Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. (Approximately 25-30 minutes)

08

Step
8 mins

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Approximately 5-10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular softened butter.
To toast the sesame seeds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
These cookies tend to spread, so don't place them too close together on the baking sheet.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
