Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet 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 bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Fold in the sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
