Ultimate Crispy Sesame Benne Wafers Recipe

    Cuisine:

    I made these and they were very good! The first couple of pans came out of the specified 375 degree oven too brown around the edges and too pale in the center. I cut the temperature to 325 degrees and the cookies browned evenly. They really are charming little wafers, a nice one bite, crispy cookie.

    The Best Benne Wafers, Benne means sesame seeds, and these are deliciously crispy little cookies I made these recently for a friend-of-the-family who celebrates Kwanzaa, and he loved them They originate in Africa, but have become a tradition in the deep south of the United States They are also the only Kwanzaa cookie type I could find; as an added bonus (although the ingredients sound REALLY weird), they’re delicious!, I made these and they were very good! The first couple of pans came out of the specified 375 degree oven too brown around the edges and too pale in the center I cut the temperature to 325 degrees and the cookies browned evenly They really are charming little wafers, a nice one bite, crispy cookie , i tryed to do this it did not work and i have to have it for a school project thanks a lot if i make a bad grade i blame you but thanks also they are good but next time be a little more specific on how to make them ok thanks i had to stay up all night doing this for school but i got to spend time with my mom thanks for that by

    1
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 375 Degrees F (190 Degrees C).

    If Your Sesame Seeds Are not Toasted, Place Them on an Ungreased Baking Sheet and Toast For 10-12 Minutes or Until They Turn Light Brown.

    3
    Done

    They May Burn Easily, So Watch Closely to Prevent This from Happening.

    4
    Done

    Mix the Brown Sugar, Melted Butter, Egg, Vanilla Extract, Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, and Toasted Sesame Seeds Together Until Well Combined in a Large Mixing Bowl.

    5
    Done

    Drop Cookie Dough by Half-Teaspoonfuls Onto Greased Baking Sheet. Make Sure That at Least 2 Inches Separate Them; They Spread a Lot.

    6
    Done

    Bake at 375 Degrees F For About 5-6 Minutes or Until Edges Become Light Brown. They Will Appear a Little Puffy When You Take Them Out.

    7
    Done

    Let Them Sit For 2-3 Minutes.

    8
    Done

    They Should Be Pretty Flat.

    9

    Remove Them to a Wire Rack and Allow to Cool (be Careful--They're Pretty Crispy and Crunchy!).

    10
    Done

    Store Cooled Cookies in an Air-Tight Container.
