Baking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Brown Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until the butter foams and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sesame seeds. Set aside.
- 3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the brown butter with 1 cup of brown sugar and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well until combined. Add in 1 large egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- 5
Chill the Dough
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape the Cookies
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.

Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
