STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Heat the oven to 340°F (170°C) and line two trays. Beat the butter and sugar until combined, then mix in the egg and vanilla.
Stir in the almond meal, salt and half the sesame seeds. Chill for 10 minutes if the dough is too soft to handle.
Divide into 12 balls. Press into the remaining sesame seeds, then flatten on the trays to rounds about 5 mm thick.
Bake for 14–18 minutes until golden at the edges, rotating the trays halfway through. Watch closely near the end because sesame browns quickly.
Cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then on a rack until crisp. Divide into 12 servings.

Kitchen notes

A thin, even thickness gives the best crunch. The cookies contain measured sugar.
