Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter or 1 1/2 sticks, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup tahini
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds mix of black and white
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and honey together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in tahini, then add dry ingredients in three batches, beating after each addition until fully combined. Dough will be slightly sticky.
- Place sesame seeds in small bowl. Scoop out tablespoons of dough (about 1 ounce) and roll into balls. Dip one side of balls in sesame seeds, gently pressing to adhere, and place, sesame side up, on two parchment-lined baking sheets roughly 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until they are golden brown, about 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool).
