Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add honey, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in toasted sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop and roll the chilled dough into balls. Optionally, roll tops in additional sesame seeds. Place on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
