Crispy, golden brown and flecked with black sesame seeds, these make a great accompaniment to a frozen dessert.
The batter has few ingredients and takes no time at all to mix together but must chill for a few hours before baking. I’ve come to appreciate Joanne Chang’s accurate descriptions, so when she says the “batter spreads like crazy”, you can believe her! I made only 6 cookies at a time on a sheet that normally fits 12-15 and some of them still spread into each other. My yield was the same as what the recipe states, but my baking time was slightly less, only 14-15 min.
I expected these cookies to be quite sweet as this type normally is, but these almost crossed the line from lacy cookie to lacy candy. However, they were still really delicious and the sesame seeds cut some of the sweetness. They went very well with a tart lemon curd ice cream and raspberry sauce I made.
