  • 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup of benne seeds (sesame seeds)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip half of each cooled benne wafer into the melted milk chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped wafers back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
  • Refrigerate the dipped wafers for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
