Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon water
2 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios (optional)

Steps:

  • Scatter the sesame seeds on a baking sheet and toast in a 350-degree oven until a light golden brown.
  • Combine the honey with the (1 tbsp.) water and use to moisten the sesame seeds. Spread in a saucer.
  • Stir together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
  • Cut in the butter, as if you were making pie crust dough. Gradually add the (2/3 cup) water until the dough is smooth.
  • Form balls of dough the size of walnuts and dip one side of each ball into the sesame seed mixture to coat. The bottom side may be very lightly touched to the pistachios. Place on greased baking sheets, sesame side up.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

I'm allergic to honey. Do you have any other cookie recipes that don't contain honey?

These cookies look delicious, but I don't have any sesame seeds. Can I use something else instead?

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these cookies didn't taste anything like the ones in the picture.

I tried making these cookies, but they didn't turn out well. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of sesame seeds, but these cookies were still really good. The honey flavor really shines through.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover honey. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookies.

These cookies are delicious! The sesame seeds add a nice crunch and the honey gives them a subtle sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.
