I was super delighted to finally have the cookie that my mom used to make, which in my opinion is the best crunchy crispy chocolate chip cookie! Shape one tablespoon of the cookie dough into a ball, roll it in the sesame seed mixture and place it onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. The draw for me then, and now, is the combination of three flavors: the nutty taste of the toasted benne (sesame) seeds, a hint of salt, and the caramel sweet flavor from the brown sugar - a chewy crunchy dessert trifecta. Sesame seed cookies, or benne seed cookies as we call them in the South, are a classic South Carolina tradition. The most well known is the Greek version, Pasteli, which is just sesame seeds and honey cut into chewy bars.
