Triple Sesame Tea Cookies
Charlie

Buttery, nutty, and subtly sweet, these cookies are the perfect crumbly tea-time treat.

These cookies are based on a New York Times recipe. The three sesames - tahini, sesame oil, and sesame seeds - deepen the flavor and bring a nutty, buttery, taste to the cookies. Simple to make, yet delicious and elegant.

Made roughly 50 cookies with a doubled recipe.

Charlie + Mya

Chewy and rich, these cookies are remiscent of a sticky toffee pudding.

This recipe loosely followed a Live Eat Learn recipe. We added 1 tsp of caramom and 1/2 tsp of ginger to the dry ingredients to give the cookies a more complex, spiced flavor. In lieu of almonds, we increased the amount of pecans and dates. Refridgerating the dough helped prevent spreading and led to a chewier texture.

Made roughly 40 cookies with a doubled recipe. Substituting 3/4 gluten-free flour and 1/4 almond flour worked well for making them gluten-free!
