Peanut Butter Cookies Coated with Toasted Sesame Seeds

Preheat the oven at 350 F.

In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and salt. Make sure to mix them thoroughly. Then put the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast sesame seed in a small pan (without oil) over low fire until they become brown in color. Keep an eye on them and make sure they do not burn. When done, put them in a small bowl and let them cool.

Take the dough from the fridge, form into small balls (I used 1 tablespoon sized scoop) then dip in the cooled sesame seeds. Make sure the balls are fully covered in the seeds. Repeat the process till the dough is all used up. I was able to make around 16 balls.

Put the balls (one by one) on a cookie tray and use a fork to flatten them (in a criss-cross pattern). Don’t worry if cracks appear on cookies, a little imperfection makes them cute and the taste will make up for it.

Bake at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes or till the edges turn brown.
