Tahini cookies with maple syrup

The dough must go into the fridge — skip that and the cookies spread across the tray.

Ingredients

• 170 g of tahini
• 115 g of butter at room temperature
• 135 g of sugar
• 200 g of flour
• 3 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• a third of a cup of sesame seeds

Preparation

1. Cream the butter and sugar, then add the tahini, syrup and vanilla.
2. Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt just until combined.
3. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
4. Shape balls, roll them in sesame seeds and flatten into discs.
5. Bake at 175 °C for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden. Leave them in the tin for 10 minutes before moving.
