Black Sesame Seed Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

BLACK SESAME SEED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 with racks in lower and upper thirds.
• Beat together peanut butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until combined well, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and baking soda.
• Place sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Roll level teaspoons of dough into balls, then roll in seeds to coat. Arrange balls about 1 inch apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through, until puffed and cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool.

NUTTY PEANUT BUTTER & TAHINI (SESAME SEED) SOFT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/175C & grease an oven tray.
• In a large bowl mix sugars together.
• Add remaining ingredients. NOTE: Do not pour tahini straight from container. Scoop from bottom as mixture separates & you don't want just the oil! If you buy a particularly runny tahini, use 1/4 cup tahini, 3/4 cup peanut butter.
• Mix ingredients til well combined. If mixture is too sticky/runny add some flour/gluten-free flour to the mix.
• Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture onto the greased baking tray. TIP: they will spread out while baking so don't crowd tray. You may need to do two batches.
• With a fork, make a slight indent to flatten cookies.
• Bake for 8 minutes for soft cookies, >10 (til browned) for crisper cookies.
• Let cool for 10-15 before touching otherwise they will crumble.

BLACK SESAME SEED COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Put black sesame seeds and sugar in a food processor and process until the mixture looks like a black paste.
• Add egg white and vanilla extract and mix.
• Put the mixture in a plastic zip-lock baggie, cut off a tip of the bag; or put in a pastry bag.
• Swirl the mixture out on an ungreased cookie sheet. I like making my cookies 1.5 x 1.5 inches so there are enough swirls, they look snail/turd like. They don't spread so having about an inch apart from the cookies will be fine.
• Bake for 11-15 minutes. If you like your cookies softer, leave them in for 11 minutes. Longer will be crispier.
