Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup tahini, well stirred
1/2 cup white sesame seeds, or a combination of black and white, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line four baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in tahini. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture until just combined. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread sesame seeds on a shallow dish. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough; roll into a ball. Roll in sesame seeds until thoroughly coated, then transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.

I've made these cookies several times and they're always a hit. They're the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and they're so easy to make.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of tahini, but these cookies were surprisingly good. They were soft and chewy, with a nice nutty flavor.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a gluten-free and vegan cookie recipe.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a lot in the oven. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these cookies. I'm not usually a fan of tahini, but it worked really well in this recipe. The cookies were soft and chewy, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out perfect. They're chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a rich tahini flavor. I love that they're also gluten-free and vegan.
