1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
Steps (5)
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Sesame: Beat in the egg until well combined. Then, mix in the ground black sesame seeds.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
Additional tips
- Sesame Seeds: For a more intense flavor, toast the black sesame seeds before grinding them.
- Texture: If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them by a minute or two.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- To make more: double the ingredients.
