Whisk the flour, sesame seeds and leavening together in a bowl so everything is evenly distributed.
3
Beat the butter and sugars until creamy, add the eggs and vanilla, then stir in the dry mix.

Press the honey into the dough in two additions so every piece gets its share.

Chill the dough twenty minutes, scoop, and bake until the edges are golden and centres soft.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
