Benne Wafers aka Sesame Seed Cookies Recipe
My daughter is a Daisy in Girl Scouts and recently we went to a Girl Scout's event called "Thinking Day".
Each troop represents a country at Thinking Day, and has fun activities, games and foods to try from that country.
We visited the Tanzania booth and they had these awesome little bites of goodness, Benne Wafers.
I completely fell in love with these cookies. The toasted sesame seeds add an amazing flavor. They are perfect.
This recipe makes a HUGE batch, about 70-ish, but they are small cookies.
Once you start eating these, you won't be able to stop. Consider yourself warned 😉
