Makes 12 to 14 cookies
Ingredients
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger
2 TB black sesame seeds
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
8 TB unsalted butter
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger and powdered sugar. Cut in butter until a dough forms. Stir in black sesame seeds. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Roll a TB of cookie dough into a ball. Press ball into a 1/4 inch thick circle. Place 6 cookies in a circle around the edges of parchment paper or microwave safe plate.
Microwave on HIGH 20 second intervals until cookies are firm but still soft. Do not microwave for more than 45 seconds or cookies will burn. Reduce cooking time for microwaving fewer than 6 cookies.
Carefully remove cookies and cool on a wire rack.
Repeat with the rest of the dough.
