1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a cookie sheet.
Mix together the brown sugar and butter, and beat until they are creamy. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sesame seeds.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are browned. Enjoy.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
