Tahini cookies with black sesame seeds

These cookies are eggs and dairy free. They are tender as if they were made of the finest flour while I used regular unbleached flour. Because of their unusual texture they taste like cross between cookies and halva. With only a few ingredients, these tiny cookies are so easy to make in last minute, though interesting enough to impress the queasiest guests.

Recipe:


1 cup tahini
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 – 3 tablespoon black sesame seeds


Prepare dough mixing all the ingredients except sesame seeds, in bowl. Cover the bowl and let it cool in a freezer for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Shape the dough into 32 balls and roll each ball, top side only into a black sesame seeds. Bake them on cookie sheets for 10 minutes. Cool thoroughly and keep refrigerated for up to a week.
Makes 32 cookies.

  1. A very different cookie to try. Would you say these are more a grown up cookie or do you think little people would like them.

  2. I would say that these are more “grown up cookies” but my children love them. However, they are used to taste of halva as well as sesame seeds. So I guess it all depends of what children are used to eat…Generally, all my recipes are child-friendly since I have two little people involved in eating and making everything that you can see on my blog.
