Ingredients
-
2 cups all purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
-
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
3 tablespoons honey
-
3/4 cup tahini, room temperature
Topping:
-
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds

2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Set rack at middle position. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ¼ cup white sesame seeds
- In a separate mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and honey for four minutes.
- Add half the tahini and beat until combined, then add half of the dry ingredients mixture and beat until combined.
- Repeat with the remaining tahini and dry ingredients. The dough will be very sticky.
- In a small bowl, mix together white and black sesame seeds for topping.
- Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll between your hands to create dough balls. Dip the dough balls into the sesame seed topping and place onto your parchment-lined baking sheet, sesame seed side up.
