Irresistible Sesame Cookies: Easy, Delicious, and Addict

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Cream butter, tahini, brown sugar, and white sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Pour in egg and almond extract; mix to combine.

3. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix into butter mixture until just combined.

4. Pour sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll balls in sesame seeds to lightly coat. Place on 2 ungreased cookie sheets; drizzle with honey.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips

You can use vanilla extract instead of almond, if preferred.

Roll cookies in a mixture of equal parts white sugar and sesame seeds instead of drizzling with honey for a cleaner cookie, or roll cookies in black sesame seeds for a prettier cookie.

Editor’s Note:

This recipe appeared in Allrecipes Magazine and included a caramel buttercream to sandwich the cookies.
