Directions
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
