Black Sesame Cookies

Black Sesame Cookies

These black sesame cookies are eye catching with a toasted and complex flavour that is slightly more savoury but very similar to the flavour of a peanut butter cookie. Moist, dense, chewy and delicious, these cookies made with black tahini are a gorgeous sweet treat or would be a great addition to a more complex plated dessert.
