How to Make Sesame Seed Cookies
- Toast 1 cup sesame seeds in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Shake and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg.
- Beat with a hand-held mixer on low speed until well blended, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the toasted sesame seeds.
- Shape the dough into 2-inch long ovals using about 2 teaspoons of dough per cookie.
- Roll the ovals in the remaining toasted sesame seeds until fully coated.
- Place the cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and let cool completely on wire racks.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
