Chewy tahini cookies

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla to a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to mix everything until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Next, add the tahini to the sugar mixture and use the electric mixer and mix to combine.

Step 5

Add the egg and use a spatula to mix the egg into the batter.

Step 6

Transfer about ⅓ cup of the dry ingredients into the wet. Use a spatula to combine. Repeat until all the dry ingredients have been mixed into the wet.

Step 7

The cookie dough should roll into a ball without falling apart. If this is not the case, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix again until the cookie dough is moldable.

Step 8

Add the sesame seeds to a flat plate.

Step 9

Use a tablespoon to scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll the dough into a ball. Flatten the ball in between your hands and press one side of the cookie into the sesame seeds. Transfer the cookie to the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the cookie dough has been used.

Step 10

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender to the touch and slightly golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Tips and Warnings

Be sure to only use an electric mixer for steps 3 and 4. If you use an electric mixer for the steps that follow, you may end up with crumbly cookie dough. If this happens, simply mold the cookie dough into a large ball with your hands.
The more you mix this cookie dough, the more oily it will become.
The longer the cookie dough sits at room temperature, the more oily it will get. That’s ok, the cookies still turn out, and your hands will be a bit shiny.
We bake these cookies to be a bit golden brown and chewy. For a softer cookie, you can decrease the baking time.
