Sesame Cookies

Got this from here.

Ingredients:
Plain white flour - ½ cup + 2 tbsp.
Light brown sugar - 1 cup (packed)
Unsalted butter - 4 tbsp.
Egg -1 (large)
Sesame seeds - 1 cup (dry roasted)
Baking powder - ½ tsp.
Vanilla extract - ½ tsp.
Salt - ½ tsp.
Lemon juice - 1 tsp.

Method:
Combine the sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Keep aside.
Cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy and light with an electric hand mixer .
Blend in the egg, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Add the flour mixture slowly and mix just until incorporated on low speed.
Then pour in the sesame seeds. Combine with the dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Pre-heat the oven on a temperature of 180°C (350°F).
Place the parchment paper on the cookie tray.
Drop the dough teaspoon by teaspoon on the parchment sheet leaving a gap of 7 cm (2.8 inches).
Then bake it for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown.
Take the sheet and then place it on the wire rack with the cookies.
After 5-10 minutes of cooling, remove the cookies carefully and delicately and place them on a wire rack.

Tips & Warnings:
If you don’t leave spaces between the cookies, they’re sure to join like a double circle cookie. Or consider this a crazy fashion of cookies.
These cookies are very fragile (worse than handling raw eggs).
