Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually mix in 1.5 cups flour until a soft dough forms. If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into heart shapes using a cookie cutter.

  5. Step 5

    Brush each cookie with beaten egg (from the remaining egg) and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Place on prepared sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
