Tahini Recipe: Gilded Sesame Cookies

[Guest guest]

@@@@@

Gilded Sesame Cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup well-stirred tahini

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup sesame seeds (preferably hulled)

1/4 teaspoon gold or silver luster dust (optional)

 

 

 

 

Special equipment: parchment paper

 

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a

small bowl.

 

Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an

electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and

fluffy, about 3 minutes, then beat in tahini and

vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in

2 batches, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.

Transfer dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and press

into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap,

until firm, at least 1 hour.

 

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and

preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with

parchment paper.

 

Stir together sesame seeds and luster dust (if using)

in a small bowl.

 

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

A tahini-based dough is rolled in gold- or

silver-dusted sesame seeds for eye-popping cookies

that melt in the mouth. (They're just as delicious if

you skip the fancy gilding.)

Use a cookie cutter and dip in seeds?
