Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature; 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds; 2 teaspoons lemon zest; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Servings: persons

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

1
Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
2
Using a stand or hand held mixer, cream butter and sugar until well combined. Add in egg, sesame seeds, lemon zest and both extracts. Mix until well combined.
3
Add dry ingredients in 3 stages, mixing well after each addition.
4
Remove the dough from the bowl, divide in two and flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill several hours or several days.
5
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
6
Roll out disks one at a time on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. If dough won't roll, allow it to warm slightly a few minutes. Using a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on parchment lined baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Gather scraps and re-roll.
7
Chill cookies on baking sheets 15 minutes.
8
Bake until edges begin to color, approximately 18 minutes. Rotate baking sheets front to back and top to bottom, halfway through baking. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets 5 minutes and then transfer to racks and cool completely.
9
Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks or, carefully wrapped, frozen up to 1 month.
