Have you ever heard of benne seeds?   How about sesame seeds?  They're the same thing!  Sesame seed comes from the benne plant, which slaves from Africa brought to America.  These delicious treats have become popular worldwide for their nut-like flavor.   While there are all kinds of recipes for cookies and candy, here is my favorite.

     Enjoy,

Brandied Benne Seed Cookie Recipe

 

You'll Need:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds to taste, more or less

Cream sugar and butter together well.

Slightly beat the eggs and add them to the creamed mixture.  Mix well.

Add the brandy and flour.  Mix well.

Roll out the dough and evenly sprinkle it with sesame seeds.

Press the seeds into the cookies and cut out circles (or other shapes) or roll up the flattened dough and slice off 1/4 inch circles.   Place slices or shapes on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 300°F for 4 to 8 minutes or until golden.
