Chewy cookies with honey, butter, and toasted sesame. Enjoy golden edges for the perfect afternoon treat.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
08 - 1/3 cup honey
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 6 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
03 - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the toasted sesame seeds. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight, for best flavor and texture.
04 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon portions. Roll the tops in the remaining sesame seeds. Place on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and centers are still slightly soft.
05 - Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
