Origin Tahini Butter Cookies

Tahini-based desserts have long been popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. These cookies draw inspiration from traditional sesame-based treats, blending the creaminess of tahini with the richness of butter for a perfect balance of flavor and texture.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how these cookies bring out the natural nuttiness of tahini while keeping the texture incredibly tender. They pair beautifully with tea or coffee and are not overly sweet, making them a great anytime snack. The subtle sesame flavor adds depth, making them stand out from typical butter cookies. Plus, they store well, so you can enjoy them for days!

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup tahini

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

• In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, tahini, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into small balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each cookie for added crunch and flavor.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

• Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.
• For a sweeter version, dust the cookies with powdered sugar after baking.
• You can substitute part of the flour with almond flour for a nuttier texture.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
