These black sesame cookies are eye catching with a toasted and complex flavour that is slightly more savoury but very similar to the flavour of a peanut butter cookie. Moist, dense, chewy and delicious, these cookies made with black tahini are a gorgeous sweet treat or would be a great addition to a more complex plated dessert.
Recipe for Black Sesame Cookies:
125 g butter
100 g granulated sugar
125 g brown sugar
250 g black tahini
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 egg
180 g pastry flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Black sesame seeds for coating the dough
Method: Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add in the black tahini and mix. Add in the vanilla and egg and mix again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything in incorporated. For the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, combine 180 grams pastry flour with the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine then add into the wet mix in one addition. Mix together until combined. Scoop out the dough with a spoon or cookie scoop and toss in a bowl of black sesame seeds to coat. Pat down into circular patties and bake in a preheated oven at 175C for about 12-15 minutes.
