Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cool but not cold
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and well-combined. Add the egg and beat until combined. Add the flour, salt, vanilla extract and sesame seeds. Mix until all the ingredients are combined.

Drop small spoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the wafers with a knife dipped in ice water.

Bake for 6 minutes. The cookies should be a golden brown with deeper golden edges. Pull the parchment paper off the sheet pan onto a cooling rack. After about 5 to 8 minutes, gently pull the cooled cookies off the parchment. Reuse the parchment for the next batch.

Cool completely and store in a tin for up to 2 weeks.
