Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups flour; 1 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick) or 1/2 cup butter (1 stick); 1/4 cup white sugar; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup tahini; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons sesame seeds; 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (optional)

Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup margarine (1 stick) or 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup tahini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (optional)

1
Combine flour, cardamom, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
2
Mix the sugars and butter ( or margarine) over medium speed until fluffy.
3
Mix in the tahini (make sure to mix well), then the vanilla, sesame seeds, and ginger (if using).
4
Over low speed, add flour mixture. Dough should be a bit crumbly (much like shortbread dough).
5
Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour.
6
Preheat oven to 350.
7
Shape dough into small balls (about 1 inch or 15 grams).
8
Arrange onto a baking sheet (I use baking mats, but parchment also works).
9
Using a glass, press the cookies down into discs. You may need to dip the glass in water to prevent the cookies from sticking to the glass.
10
Bake about 8 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.
11
Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
