BENNE WAFERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter for about 30 second, so that it is even softer. Add the sugar, vanilla, salt, baking soda and egg and beat until just combined. Add the flour and mix until smooth. Stir in the sesame seeds.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the baking sheets, making sure to leave at least an inch between the wafers for spreading. Spray your hands or a spatula with nonstick spray and press the cookies down to keep them from doming.
- Bake until golden brown and starting to crisp on the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the wafers to cool for 1 minute on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
BENNE WAFERS
Since I live in the South people refer to these cookies as Benne Wafers, they are actually Sesame Seed Cookies. Toasting benne (sesame) seeds develops their flavor and also gives these cookies a slightly crunchy texture.

BENNE SEED WAFERS
Crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne wafers (aka sesame seed cookies) are perfect for your holiday or Kwanzaa celebrations. For a more traditional type of cookie, leave them plain. If you feel like dressing them up, drizzle them with melted chocolate. Both ways are equally delicious. -April Wright, Whisk It Real Gud

BENNE WAFERS
These simple and delightful cookies are native to the South Carolina Lowcountry and the Gullah islands off the coast. They are so easy to make, and after just one bite of the salty, sweet, and crispy wafers, you'll question where they've been all your life!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To toast the sesame seeds, spread them in a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool and leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, place the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat on low speed until thoroughly combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in the toasted sesame seeds with a rubber spatula.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop and drop balls of the dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. (They will spread a lot.) You should end up with about 24 balls per sheet. Bake until the edges of the wafers are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

Steps:
- Line some baking sheets with waxed paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To toast the sesame seeds, spread them in a shallow baking pan. Bake for about 5 minutes, watching carefully. The seeds should just begin to lightly brown. Immediately tip the seeds into a shallow dish and set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Stir in the flour mixture until combined, then add the vanilla. Stir in the sesame seeds. Drop by 1/2 teaspoons on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until brown, 14 to 16 minutes. The cookies should be very brown, but not burned around the edges. Let the cookies cool completely on the waxed paper, then lift them off. Store the wafers in an airtight container. These freeze well in tins.
