Sesame Fork Cookies

 

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 egg

3 tablespoons tahini or peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sesame seed

 

In a large mixing bowl beat the butter or margarine with an electric mixer on

medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, baking powder, and

nutmeg; beat till combined. Beat in the egg, tahini or peanut butter, and

vanilla. Beat in the whole-wheat flour and as much of the all-purpose flour as

you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining all-purpose flour and the sesame

seed with a wooden spoon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on

ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each ball by pressing with the tines of a fork

in a crisscross pattern.

Bake in a preheated 375 degrees oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or till lightly

browned. Remove cookies from the pans and cool on a rack.

Makes about 70 cookies.
