This recipe comes from The Spice Cookbook by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuchey. I picked this cookbook up at a used bookstore a while ago and have only tried a few things from it. This book is packed with unique recipes.
These little cookies were surprisingly addictive. The sesame and the peanut butter combination was great.
1 Cup Sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp double-acting baking powder
3 T Toasted Sesame Seed
1/4 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup light-brown sugar
1 large egg
31/2 T Toasted Sesame Seed
Sift together flour and baking powder and mix with the 3 T Toasted Sesame seed. Set aside. Combine the next four ingredients. Add peanut butter and mix well. Gradually add sugar. Beat in egg. Stir in flour mixture.
Drop 1/2-tsp portions of dough. 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp Toasted Sesame Seed. Bake in a preheated moderate oven. (375) 10 minutes or until edges have lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Store airtight.
Yield: 31/2 dozen cookies
