Ingredients

• 180 grams all-purpose flour
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 50 grams white sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer or whisk.

Step 4

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and toasted sesame oil until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the white sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Press down each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a flat disc shape.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your buttery, nutty Golden Sesame Cookies!
