sesame cookies

Addictively delicious tahini cookies: nutty, salty-sweet, vegan, gluten-free, and incredibly fast! Just 1 bowl, 7 ingredients, and less than 30 minutes required!

Easy Tahini Cookies (Vegan + GF)

tahini, unsalted and smooth

maple syrup

almond flour

tapioca starch

tsp baking soda

tsp sea salt

sesame seeds

Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini and maple syrup and use a whisk to thoroughly combine. Next add the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt to the tahini mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix well.

Place the sesame seeds into a small bowl and set it nearby. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop the dough, then roll them into near perfect balls before gently rolling each ball in the sesame seeds and placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently press down on the balls to flatten slightly. Recipe as written should make ~20 cookies and they won’t spread much, so they should all fit on a standard size baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy at room temperature for best texture.

These healthy, gluten-free and vegan sesame cookies are perfect for an afternoon treat. They're lightly sweetened with an earthy, nutty flavour you'll love!

Vegan Sesame Tahini Cookies

almond flour (150 g)

tahini (120 g)

maple syrup (70 g)

vanilla extract,

salt,

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix all the ingredients, except the sesame seeds, in a bowl until you get a moldable dough. 

Prepare a shallow bowl or plate with about 1/4 cup of sesame seeds.

Roll the dough into 10-12 balls, about 2 tbsp each, then roll the balls in the sesame seeds to coat.

Flatten each ball with your hands until about 1/3-inch thick and place on the baking sheet.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool completely before serving. They will be soft and fragile when they come out of the oven so be sure to let them cool to firm up before handling.

I'm wanting to know if the sesame tahini cookies stay soft after they cool, for people who don't have any teeth????

Sesame Tahini Cookies

These Easy Vegan Sesame Seed Cookies are lightly sweetened, soft and chewy, incredibly delicious and make wonderful holiday gifts.

Sesame Seed Cookies

tahini (runny)

tsp vanilla extract

cocoa powder

tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 and line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Use a liquid measuring cup and pour in the tahini, then the maple syrup and finally the vanilla extract.  Mix well.

Use a medium sized mixing bowl and stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Use a fork if there are clumps that need to be dissolved.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until dough comes together.

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out 18 golf ball sized cookies and drop them onto the prepared baking pan.

Wet your hands and then roll each cookie into a ball.

Place the sesame seeds into a small, shallow bowl. Roll each ball of cookie dough into the sesame seeds until fully coated and then return to the baking pan.  Use the bottom of a glass to press the sesame ball down into a flat, 1/8&quot; thick cookie.

Bake for 12 minutes.  Let cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.  Cool completely before storing.

Italian Sesame Cookies are a classic Italian cookie rolled in sesame seeds. These are a simple and slightly sweet treat that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee!

Italian Sesame Cookies

unsalted butter, softened

sugar

lemon

vanilla

all purpose flour ((260 grams))

baking powder

salt

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to mix together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light; about a minute. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be soft and slightly crumbly.

Pour the dough on to a piece of plastic wrap and press the dough into a disc or log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

When ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.

Place the chilled dough onto a flat surface and cut into four equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a log shape and cut then cut into 6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Use your hands to slightly elongate the dough piece into an oval shape.

Press the dough into the sesame seeds to coat it evenly. (It&#39;s fine if there are spots where the seeds don&#39;t adhere). Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch between each cookie.

Bake in a preheated oven for 22-24 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed and cracked, and are slightly golden brown. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

These are so nice to have around for when guests pop in during the holidays.  I prefer to use unhulled sesame seeds for additional nutty flavor.  Unhulled sesame seeds are often called benne seeds in the southeasten USA.

I dipped the cookies in milk then sesame seeds. They came out OK.

My boss used to buy these from Little Italy. I miss them so I made them from your recipe. Deliciouso.
