Black Sesame Cookies

Gabby Vernon-Melzer

½ cup softened butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar 

1 egg

1/2 cup black sesame spread

1 ¼ cup flour

1 tsp baking flour

1 tsp baking power

1 pinch salt

 

Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and sesame paste and beat until incorporated. Add all dry ingredients, and combine thoroughly. Cover with cling film and chill for at least an hour, or overnight.

 

Preheat your oven to 180c/350f. Prepare a sheet tray with baking paper.

 

Using your hands, form balls of dough and place them on the sheets with enough space to spread. Using a fork, make little "hashtag" indentations.  

​

Bake for ten minutes, and then cool on a wire rack. The cookies will set upon cooling, so don't be tempted to try until they're ready!

Peanut butter cookies, a favourite of many American children (and adults....) takes on a whole new life when the PB is replaced with black sesame. The nutty, sweet/savoury elements are still strong, but with a sultry, earthier undertone. These are so soft and chewy, they might become your new go-to bikkie.
