Black Sesame Brown Sugar Shortbread
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
- Put racks in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325u0b0 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and sesame seeds. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition, until it is all incorporated. The mixture will be thick and crumbly. Transfer it to a counter and knead it into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the chilled dough to a lightly floured counter and roll it into an 1/2 inch-thick triangle. Cut it into 2-inch squares, and cut each square into triangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until just lightly golden brown around the edges, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
