Instructions
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy.
Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add egg and vanilla. Beat the mixture until well combined.
Sift in all-purpose flour, black sesame powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed just until combined. Don't overmix.
Add chocolate chips and mix with a spatula until well combined.
Chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days in the fridge. Don't skip or the cookies will spread a lot.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F/180°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop 2-3 tbsp of dough with a 2 inch/5 cm ice cream scoop on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3-4 inches or 8-10 cm of space between the cookies. Sprinkle the top with black sesame seeds.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before putting them on a cooling rack.
