These are lovley and lacy/delicate as you can see from the photos while the sesame seeds give them an earthy flavour. I made ours gluten free using a rice flour mix (white rice flour and half the amount of tapioca starch. I also kept them corn free by adding some baking soda and organic apple cider vinegar for the baking powder. I did not use (grilled~toasted) sesame seeds and they came out toasted enough for us without doing so. I suspect if you toast them they may be too burnt tasting. By the way, when it says keep them apart on the pan it means it!!! Mine ran into each other and I had spaced them pretty well. Thanks for this recipe I will make again. Made for Ramadan Tag 2010.

I baked them for 15 minutes to produce a crisp wafer that was easier to remove from the cooking sheet. I used black sesame, a little less butter, and a bit more egg. This made the cookies/wafers a bit lighter in texture while still holding their shapes well. A great recipe!

Boomette, these sesame cookies are delicious. I loved the sesame flavor so I added a few more sesame seeds to the recipe. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Another winner from Boomie. These little treasures are awesome. I really enjoyed the flavor of these tasty little gems. I can't seem to stop eating them...help. I toasted the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan to bring out the nutty flavor. What a great cookie, it was crisp, tender and very fragile. Almost like a wafer cookie in texture. They did spread alot while cooking and were difficult to remove, but more than worth any extra effort. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

5 stars for flavor, but I did have a little trouble as mine stuck to the baking sheets and were very delicate. It's probably my fault because I used 1/2 butter 1/2 margarine out of necessity and I didn't measure it very well and I may have added too much. But I will make these again, with the right amount of butter! Thank you for posting. Made for Bevy Tag.
