Ingredients for this Tahini Cookies:

• 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter, room temperature
• 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 100 grams (1/2 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
• 80 grams (1/3 cup) tahini
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 210 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) plain flour or all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 35 grams (1/4 cup) sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for rolling)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the tahini and honey to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough should be thick but slightly sticky.
6. Gently fold in the sesame seeds.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll the dough balls in the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to coat them lightly.
8. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Flatten each dough ball slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
