Benne Wafers

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sesame seeds, toasted
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. Heating oven to 375 degrees.
2. Heat a dry pan over a medium flame and add the sesame seeds, stirring constantly until they start to turn a light shade of brown. Remove them from the heat and transfer to a small bowl.
3. Mix all the rest of the ingredients together and add the sesame seeds.
4. Grease a baking sheet. Drop the dough by half-teaspoons onto the sheet, making sure to keep two or three inches between each wafer.
5. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the edges of each wafer start to brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
6. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
