Sesame Honey Cookies
A Chinese teahouse classic, these sesame honey cookies are thin, crisp discs of lightly spiced dough rolled in a generous coat of toasted sesame seeds, their edges caramelised by honey and brown sugar. Baked until golden and fragrant, they deliver a nutty crunch against a honeyed, buttery crumb in every bite.

Instructions
1
Cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and honey in a bowl until smooth and glossy.
2
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt, then mix to form a stiff, slightly sticky dough.
3
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball, flattening slightly with your palm.
4
Brush the top of each cookie with the beaten egg, then press firmly into the toasted sesame seeds to coat.
5
Arrange sesame-side up on a lined baking sheet, spaced well apart, and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 12-14 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
6
Cool the cookies on the tray for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and crisp up before serving.
