Benne Seed Cookies

12 tb Butter
1 c Sugar, brown

Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter until soft, then gradually beat in sugar and egg until mixture is fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Add vanilla and sesame seeds and mix well. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, about 1-1/2" apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
