       Yield: 60 servings
 
      12 tb Butter
       1 c  Sugar, brown
       1    Eggs
       1 c  Flour
     1/2 ts Baking powder
       1 ts Vanilla extract
     3/4 c  Sesame seeds
 
   Preheat oven to 325.  Cream butter until soft, then gradually beat in
   sugar and egg until mixture is fluffy. Combine flour and baking
   powder; stir into butter mixture.  Add vanilla and sesame seeds and
   mix well. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets,
   about 1-1/2" apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
  
   Let cookies rest a minute, then remove immediately from baking sheet.
   If cookies harden before removal, return to oven for a minute to
   soften.
  
   "These cookies can be frozen, or will keep well in tightly-covered
   container."
