  • 1 cupFlour
  • ⅓ tsp.Salt
  • ⅓ tsp.Baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp.Oregon Trail Juniper Berry Spice
  • 1⅞ cupsBrown sugar
  • 1 cupButter, melted
  • 1¼Eggs

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the White Sesame Seeds for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and just barely golden.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk the toasted sesame seeds, flour, salt, baking soda, and Oregon Trail Juniper Berry Spice together.

  4. 4

    In a separate large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, melted butter, and eggs together until smooth. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet sugar mixture until just combined.

  5. 5

    Using a teaspoon or small melon scoop, drop small balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving plenty of room between each — they'll spread.

  6. 6

    Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the wafers are dark golden and the edges are set. Cool on the pan for a minute or two before transferring to a rack to crisp. Makes about 125 wafers.

  7. 7

    Notes: Asian Style Sprinkle stands in for the Oregon Trail Juniper Berry Spice if you'd like a different angle. For a sweet-only version, leave out the spice blend and bump the sesame seeds up to 3 oz.
