Equipment
- 2 x baking sheets Or bake in batches
- 1 x blender or food processor
Ingredients
- ¼ cup roasted black sesame seeds
- ¼ cup salted dairy-free butter softened
- 6 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup gluten-free all purpose flour I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 176°C. Line two baking sheet pans.
- Place the black sesame in a blender or food processor. Blitz until finely ground.
- In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter and sugar together.
- Add in the egg and vanilla. Whisk well.
- Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black sesame. Mix well.
- Drop 1 teaspoonful of dough per cookie onto the baking sheets (10 on each sheet). They spread well, so make sure to leave them about 2 inches apart to prevent merging.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes. The cookies firm up as they cool.
Notes
Make sure to weigh the flour with a kitchen scale. A small difference makes a huge difference in this recipe.
Leave enough space in between the cookies to bake evenly, and to avoid making a giant cookie.
