Home | Recipes | B
Candy Christmas Holiday

Ingredients:

  • 12 tb Butter
  • 1 c Sugar, brown
  • 1 Eggs
  • 1 c Flour
  • 1/2 ts Baking powder
  • 1 ts Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 c Sesame seeds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter until soft, then gradually beat in sugar and egg until mixture is fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Add vanilla and sesame seeds and mix well. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, about 1-1/2" apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
 
Let cookies rest a minute, then remove immediately from baking sheet. If cookies harden before removal, return to oven for a minute to soften.
 
"These cookies can be frozen, or will keep well in tightly-covered container."
