Sesame Cookies

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, tahini, and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.

4. 4

   Spread the sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, then roll each one in the sesame seeds to coat lightly. Arrange on two ungreased baking sheets and drizzle honey over the tops.

5. 5

   Bake until the edges turn golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the pan for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
