Ingredients

Sesame Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Sesame Seeds
  • 5 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Grind Sesame Seeds: Place the sesame seeds into a high-speed blender. Pulse blend in 10-second bursts for about 30 seconds total, scraping down the sides between bursts until the sesame seeds are ground as fine as almond flour. Avoid over-blending to prevent making sesame butter.
  3. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sesame flour, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough becomes wet and sticky.
  4. Form Cookie Balls: Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Space each ball about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion. Repeat for a total of 10 balls, re-oiling hands as needed.
  5. Flatten Balls: Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten each dough ball. The thinner you press, the crisper the final cookie will be.
  6. Bake Cookies: Place the cookie sheet on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes. They will be soft initially but will firm up as they cool.

Notes

  • Do not over-blend the sesame seeds as this will turn into sesame butter, which changes the texture of the dough.
  • Using maple syrup provides natural sweetness and works well for those avoiding refined sugars.
  • Spacing the dough balls properly is crucial as they expand significantly during baking.
  • For a crisper cookie, flatten the dough balls more thinly before baking.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free and vegan friendly.
