Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 85 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 30 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Serve and enjoy!
