Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup sesame seeds
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
5. Place the sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, then roll the ball in the sesame seeds to coat it completely. Place the coated ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
6. Use the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand to gently flatten each cookie slightly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
