Sesame cookies

To make sesame cookies, we will need:

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 0.5 kg sesame seeds
  • 1-2 tsp baking powder

Step-by-step recipe:

  1. First, turn on the oven so that it preheats to 180 degrees.
  2. Pour the sesame seeds into the frying pan and fry for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden.
  3. Let's make the dough. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl, then add the butter and pre-sifted flour and baking powder. Knead everything until smooth. You'll essentially have a shortcrust pastry.
  4. Add the still-warm sesame seeds to the prepared dough and mix well. Place the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the mixture out, roughly flattening it to the shape of the baking sheet (leaving a little space around the edges), to a depth of no more than 1-2 cm. Place in the oven. The recipe calls for the cookies to bake in this form for about 10 minutes, then cut into portions and return to the oven for 15 minutes.

You can do it differently. Shape the cookies immediately into your desired shapes (squares, stars, hearts) and bake for 25-30 minutes until done. Take a photo of the finished product to remember your success. The sesame seeds make the cookies crispy and airy, not too sweet.

There's a recipe for making this delicacy without flour! It's essentially the same as shortcrust pastry, but with sesame seeds instead of flour.

For this we will need:

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g of sugar
  • Half a packet of vanilla sugar or vanillin
  • 250 g sesame seeds

Sesame cookies are easy to make and take just minutes. Here's the recipe:

  1. Take the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Immediately add sugar, vanilla (or a pinch of vanilla sugar), and sesame seeds to the whites and mix everything together.
  2. This is our dough! Place the resulting mixture on a sheet of parchment lined with a baking sheet or pan.
  3. It's best to bake using convection if possible. Sesame seeds tend to burn quickly, so keep an eye on the baking sheet for 15 minutes after placing it in the oven. The dish will be ready in 20 minutes at the earliest, but it may take sooner.

The fastest sesame cookies are ready! Don't forget to take a photo and show off your treat to your friends on Instagram.

How to cook:

The recipe has no subtleties or secrets—it's very easy and delicious. Mix all the ingredients together and form into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Keep an eye on the baked goods after the first 15 minutes. To ensure they're done, the cookies should be a delicate golden brown; sesame seeds tend to burn quickly.
