Gluten-free Lemon Sesame Seed Cookies

---

2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour

1/2 cup cold butter, chopped

1 cup sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

2 tablespoons lemon zest

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 350 F

Sift flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt into a bowl. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well in between. Add lemon juice and zest, followed by flour. Beat to combine.

Drop teaspoonfuls of the cookie batter into the sesame seeds and roll with a teaspoon to fully coat.  Arrange in a lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 20 minutes or until cookies are slightly browned and crispy. Remove from the oven. After about 10 minutes, move cookies to a cookie rack to cool completely.
