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.
