If you have a jar of tahini tucked in the back of your cupboard – use up that jar to bake these decadent Sesame Honey Cookies. They’re sweet, salty, chewy, and totally addictive.
These cookies are both chewy and crisp – with notes of sesame and caramelized flavours.
Tahini is a sesame seed paste often used in Middle Eastern cooking and baking. It adds a creamy, savoury bitter taste to the cookies, that balances beautifully with the honey. And the best part is you only need a handful of ingredients!
If you have ever eaten hummus, you would have had tahini, as it’s one of the main ingredients of hummus.
We are quite adventurous in the kitchen, so if you are an adventurous foodie like us, you will like these cookies. These are not common flavour combinations you get to see often, but they are totally worth trying.
How To Make Sesame Honey Cookies
The Ingredients Are:
1. Tahini (sesame paste)
2.Honey
3. Muscavado Brown Sugar
4.Cane Sugar
5.Flour
6. Butter
7.Egg
8. Bicarb
The butter and 2 sugars are beaten using an electric whisk, or with a manual whisk until fluffy, then the egg is added followed by the rest of the ingredients.
The dough is then chilled for a minimum of 3 hours, or ideally overnight in the fridge.
When you are ready to place the cookies onto the baking trays, we recommend you give them plenty of space, because they do expand a little bit when they bake.
The cookies don’t need a lot to bake 10-12 minutes.
