Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups honey
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cups chocolate chips (optional, for dipping or drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, honey, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed.

Step 5

If the dough feels too dry, add the milk and mix again until the dough is cohesive.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each one.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies should remain soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

For an optional finishing touch, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. You can either dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate or drizzle it over the cookies.

Step 11

Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
