How to Make Benne Seed Wafers
- Toast 1/2 cup sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the toasted sesame seeds.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies will become crisp as they cool.
