Benne Cookies Preparation
Known as sesame seeds in most of the country, benne is the name southerners learned to call these seeds, which were brought from Africa by slaves. Toasting benne seeds develop their flavor and also gives these cookies a slightly crunchy texture. Heat oven to 375o. Toast benne seeds on ungreased baking sheet until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely so they don”t burn. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients. Drop dough by 1/2 teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 375o until light brown, about 4-6 minutes. Cool about 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets to wire rack to cool completely. Store in tightly covered cookie tin when thoroughly cooled. Yield: about 6 dozen.
