Always ready for a cookie to have and share. Sesame Cookies were a surprising good crisp and crunchy cookie, great for dunking in coffee, cocoa and tea. They are perfect for dipping because the cookie absorbs the liquid, softens and holds together to be eaten without falling into your cup.

Notes
While I followed the recipe exactly, or meant to, I inadvertently added 2 tablespoons of vanilla instead of 2 teaspoons. Interruptions can be a disaster, however I was not going to stop at that; so with 2 tablespoons of vanilla, I finished and baked the cookies. They were such tasty, nutty flavored cookies, almost like a hint of peanut butter. As quoted from Cooking Light, “A touch of corn syrup and cornstarch ensures crispness.” The tahini gives the Sesame Cookies a subtle nutty flavor.
