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.
