Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup sesame seed
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F. Heat 1/2 cup butter and the sesame seed in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (watch carefully so mixture does not burn); remove from heat. Remove 2 tablespoons sesame seed; drain. Reserve remaining sesame seed mixture for frosting.
Mix 2 tablespoons sesame seed, 1/2 cup softened butter, the granulated sugar, egg and water in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness with bottom of greased glass dipped in sugar.
Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Mix remaining ingredients and reserved sesame seed mixture until spreadable. Spread frosting on cookies.
