How to Make Black Sesame Seed Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with racks in the lower and upper thirds.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ½ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and ½ teaspoon baking soda until just combined.
  4. Place ¼ cup black sesame seeds in a shallow bowl.
  5. Roll level tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange balls about 1 inch apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are puffed and slightly cracked. Watch carefully as ovens vary.
  8. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
