Description
Deliciously chewy cookies made with honey and toasted sesame seeds, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt, mixing well and setting aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the honey, egg, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, stirring until blended smoothly.
- Slowly introduce the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the toasted sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Gently press down on each ball to flatten them slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added crunch, mix in 1/4 cup of chopped almonds or pecans.
- A dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of lemon zest can elevate the flavor profile.
- These cookies are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
