Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 130 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 160 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 40 grams Black sesame seeds (toasted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, toast the black sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 7
Fold in the toasted black sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Using the back of a fork, press down gently on each ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Step 10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Step 11
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
