How to Make Sesame Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ¼ cup sesame seeds.
  7. Lightly grease the prepared baking sheet with cooking spray.
  8. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each wafer.
  9. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the wafers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
