Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, beating well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, all-purpose flour, and ground ginger until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until all the flour is incorporated, and you have a soft but firm dough.
- Fold the sesame seeds into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
- Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently press each ball of dough to flatten it slightly. This will help the biscuits spread out evenly during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are lightly golden brown. The centers may still appear soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure to cream the butter and sugars thoroughly to ensure a smooth and well-mixed batter.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
- For an added twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a stronger ginger flavor, you can increase the amount of ginger slightly or use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger.
- Bake the biscuits on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp for several days.
These ginger and sesame biscuits are not only delicious but also relatively easy to make. By following these steps, you can whip up a batch of these tasty treats in no time, perfect for sharing with family and friends or enjoying on your own. Their unique flavor and satisfying crunch will surely make them a regular in your baking repertoire.
