Dark or light brown sugar?Reply

These are out of this world, they are so good! It's the perfect mixture of the rich flavors of toasted sesame seeds and the sweetness of the cookie. I baked them a little longer than the recipe calls for, checking on them every minute, and pulled them when they were just a little bit golden around the edges. I let them cool and they came out perfect. I toasted the sesame seeds myself by putting a cup at a time into a pan on the stove-top over medium-high heat. Mixing continuously, I put them in a separate pan to cool when they started to turn golden brown and the smell turns full and nutty. I found that this recipe made more than 24 cookies for me with heaping spoonfuls - but this was a delightful bonus! Thank you for sharing!Reply

These are really good! They were disappearing off the cooling rack before I could get the next batch out.Reply
