Directions

1 Heat oven to 375ºF. Heat 1/2 cup butter and the sesame seed in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (watch carefully so mixture does not burn); remove from heat. Remove 2 tablespoons sesame seed; drain. Reserve remaining sesame seed mixture for frosting.
2 Mix 2 tablespoons sesame seed, 1/2 cup softened butter, the granulated sugar, egg and water in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
3 Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness with bottom of greased glass dipped in sugar.
4 Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
5 Mix remaining ingredients and reserved sesame seed mixture until spreadable. Spread frosting on cookies.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

In France, browned butter is known as beurre noisette—a butter cooked to a light hazelnut color. It has a deeper, nuttier flavor than butter cooked for a shorter time.

Sesame seed contains oil that can become rancid over time; be sure to store in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent it from spoiling.

I was really excited when I found this recipe, because the chefs where I used to work made these all the time for lunch and I loved them. The flavor is spot on, but the cookies are a little dense for what I want. I remember them being a little fluffier. And bigger. I'll have to check with my baker friend to find out how to alter this a bit to get them fluffy the way I like them!
