Sesame-Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Sesame-Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies

½ cup brown sugar     

¼ cup white sugar

½ cup soft butter

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

½ tsp. sesame oil (optional)

Mix above ingredients in a medium bowl until creamy.  Add:

½ cup wheat flour

¼ cup white flour

½ tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. soda

¼ tsp. salt

Mix until creamy and add:

1 cup quick or old-fashioned oats

½ cup sesame, white or brown

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup pecans, chopped or whole (optional)

Mix until it holds together.  Drop walnut-sized balls on cookie sheets about 2” apart and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes, until bottoms are well-browned and the tops are well-done; the more browned they are, the more the sesame flavor comes out.  Makes 30-36 cookies.

Tip:  For light, crisp, sugary cookies, go a little heavy on the sugar, light on flour and oatmeal, and use the smallest egg in your large egg carton, or a medium egg.
