Directions

Toasting benne seeds develop their flavor and also gives these cookies a slightly crunchy texture.

Heat oven to 375. 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 ½ teaspoonfuls 1½ inches apart onto greased baking sheet.

Bake at 375 until light brown, about 4 to 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.
