These rustic sesame cookies are the perfect snack to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. The sesame seeds give the cookies a unique crunch and nutty flavor, making them a great option for those who love a slightly savory twist to their sweet treats.
If you want to add even more flavor to these cookies, consider adding a teaspoon of black sesame oil to the dough. This will give the cookies an earthy richness that perfectly complements the nuttiness of the sesame seeds.
Another fun variation on this recipe is to add a teaspoon of matcha powder to the dough. This will give the cookies a beautiful green color and a slightly bitter, grassy flavor that pairs well with the sesame seeds.
