Delicious! These cookies disappeared from the plate in 10 minutes. I have to say that this recipe makes a lot of cookies. I halved the recipe and still had a lot of cookies. They do form perfect circles and yes, really, only half a teaspoon will make a regular size cookie. Mine needed about 15-16 minutes to be done.

I just made these cookies today - from Paula's Christmas book, "Christmas with Paula Deen." These cookies our OUTSTANDING. They are thin and crisp, and have a wonderful flavor. I made them the size Paula recommends - 1/2 teaspoon of dough. Mine actually bake out to silver-dollar size; and, they made way more than the 12 dozen stated in the recipe. At least twice that many. The only thing I will do different next time, is to use better cookie sheets. The sheets I used interfered with the bake time, as well as the temperature. In order to get them "done" in about 15 minutes, I needed to move the temp up to about 325-350. I don't know if it was the recipe, my oven, or my cookie sheets. Doesn't matter, they still all came out great. This is a new Christmas cookie tradition at my house!

These cookies are fantastic! Love Paula's southern cooking. These cookies are more like wafers....thin and delicious. I've tried many recipes for Benne Seed Cookies and this is one of the best!

These cookies are awesome! They travel and store well (assuming they aren't all eaten! and they always get rave reviews. It is VERY important to follow the recipes exactly as written to get the desired results. Use BUTTER - NOT margarine. (1st rate ingredients make 1st rate cookies. Small bits of dough will spread as indicated on the parchment paper to form circular cookies This one is a winner!.

After reading the reviews I made some edits which I belive were critical - I used only 2 sticks of butter, 2 1/2 cups of flour and a total of 3 cups of sesame seeds. Using a small icecream scoop I cooked them on parchment and they do spread into a perfect round 2" cookie. Delicious!

They were the worst cookies i have ever baked (200+. Very greasy thin, yuk!I was glad I only baked 1 sheet. I added almost 2 cups of flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. The resulting cookie was so much better.

Big OOPS on this one Paula. These are so greasy that the butter oozed all the way through the parchment paper and onto my cookie sheets. And the consistency is more of a cracker or praline than a cookie. Too flat, too sweet.

After watching Paula make these cookies tonight, I watched the rest of the show in the kitchen while making them. My boyfriend came home while the first batch were coming out of the oven and we nearly ate the whole first batch. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies! The bigger you make them, the softer they are... the smaller, the crunchier.
