Benne Seed Wafers
Ingredients
1 stick butter, softened
¾ cup brown
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla
2 tsp Tahini (optional)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cups flour
½ cup sesame seeds, toasted (sometimes they come that way) *here’s my hint – don’t buy them with the other spices – too expensive – find them in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
Sea salt to sprinkle (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg.
Beat until light, about 5 minutes.
Add dry ingredients and mix to combine.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Drop cookies by teaspoons on top sheet. I got 24 to each sheet. They will spead out into a perfect little circle as they bake.
Bake about 8 minutes until crispy and slightly browned.
Remove form oven and cool on parchment paper.
Store, if you have any leftovers, in an airtight container.
