In a sauté pan or skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium heat until brown. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching. Let cool.

In a mixing bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together.

Add the beaten egg to the sugar/butter mixture, and combine well.

Next, sift the flour, salt and baking powder together, add it to the mix and combine until just smooth.

Finally add the vanilla and toasted sesame seeds and mix well.

On a foil, parchment or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet, drop teaspoonfuls of batter, spaced apart to allow for spreading.

Bake in a 375°F oven for approximately 12-13 minutes, until browned.

Let cool for about a minute on baking sheet before removing to cool on a rack.
