For a richer flavor, brown the butter before creaming it with the sugar. Ensure the sesame seeds are evenly toasted to enhance their nutty flavor. Don't overbake the cookies, as they tend to dry out quickly. For a festive touch, add a pinch of edible gold glitter to the sesame seeds before rolling the cookies.
