These may look like old-fashioned peanut butter cookies, but their texture and flavor is deliciously updated with tahini (sesame paste). Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) or 3 tablespoons peanut butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
2. Add the brown sugar, baking powder and nutmeg; beat till combined. Beat in the egg, tahini or peanut butter, and vanilla.
3. Beat in the whole wheat flour and as much of the all-purpose flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining all-purpose flour and the sesame seed with a wooden spoon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2-inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each ball by pressing with the tines of a fork in a crisscross pattern.
4. Bake in a preheat 375F oven for 7-9 minutes or till lightly browned. Remove cookies from the pan and cool on rack.
