Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or the palm of your hand to form a cookie shape.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are slightly firm.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
