Tip #1

- Sesame seed is available in some stores in the Asian or spice section. To toast sesame seed, spread onto large baking sheet. Bake at 350°F., stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch closely as seeds can burn quickly. Cool completely.

Tip #2

- For gift giving, stack cookies in a decorated cellophane bag. Tie bag with a ribbon and attach a few of your favorite tea bags.
