Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 3/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2-3 tbsp black sesame paste (see note)
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line several baking sheets.
- 2
With an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- 3
Add black sesame paste, egg, and yolk, and mix until homogenous.
- 4
Add flour and gently stir until just combined.
- 5
Scoop 2 tbsp balls of cookie dough and place on your prepared baking sheets.
- 6
Bake 8-10 minutes (I tend to err on the side of underbaked, since these are thinner cookies and sesame paste makes them crisp up more than regular sugar cookies).
- 7
Let cool completely and enjoy! Leftover cookies can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container.
