SESAME SEED SNACK COOKIES
Not too sweet, covered in delicious sesame seeds, these are a favourite snack for my family. They keep about three days in a tin. I have tried using less oil, also draining some onto a paper towel after cooking, but without good results. The oil seems to be the magic ingredient for the special slightly chewy texture. The recipe is adapted from the same in "Chinese Cooking" by Mary Wilson.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line four baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and beat until combined. Add toasted sesame seeds, and beat until incorporated.
- Using a spoon, drop cookie batter, about 1 tablespoon at a time, onto prepared baking sheets, allowing at least 2 inches between cookies for spreading.
- Bake until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Measure ingredients accurately: Correct measurements ensure the right texture and flavor. Use measuring cups and spoons, and level off dry ingredients with a knife.
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients contribute to the best taste and texture. Choose good-quality sesame seeds, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it hold its shape and prevents spreading. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Roll the dough evenly: Roll the dough to an even thickness so that the cookies bake evenly. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F or 175°C) to ensure they bake evenly without burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving. This helps them firm up and develop their full flavor.
