Sesame Cookies Recipe
These Sesame Cookies are perfectly nutty and the ideal balance of salty and sweet. This is an easy recipe that you can make in just 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (I like to use heritage whole wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, honey, vanilla, and egg. Next, add the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and sea salt and mix until combined.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop large balls and roll them in your hands to make them smooth and round.
- Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate in a single layer. Roll the cookie dough ball around the plate until it’s completely covered with sesame seeds. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- When you have about 8 on your sheet, use your hand to flatten them and then bake for 10 – 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
