Sesame-Brown Sugar Shortbreads

This lovely cookie is as simple and appealing as its name. Be sure to get untoasted sesame seeds that are blonde, fat, and fresh-tasting. The best place to buy them is usually a natural food store.

For a happy trick, sprinkle some black sesame seeds in addition to the white over a portion of the dough. This will give you two different cookie looks for the labor of just one.
