Tarragon-Sesame Crisps

Here is another cookie recipe from the Dallas Morning News Cookie Contest. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them but they are a light, nutty quarter sized cookie.

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds

1/2 cups chopped pecans

1 teaspoon finely minced fresh tarragon

3/4 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat in egg and add sesame seeds, pecans and fresh tarragon. Add to this a sifted mixture of flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well and drop in small mounds 3 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake about 9 minutes. Cool and remove from pan. Makes 4 dozen
