Ingredients

• 90 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Light brown sugar
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 70 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 40 grams Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Gently mix in the sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, gently flatten each dollop of batter into a thin, circular wafer shape.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the sesame wafers as-is, or pair them with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an elevated treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
