How to Make Whole Wheat Black Sesame Cookies

Making whole wheat black sesame cookies is a delightful way to enjoy a healthy, crunchy treat. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to bake these nutritious cookies at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

- ½ cup black sesame seeds, ground

- ½ cup softened butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option)

- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup

- 1 large egg

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- ½ tsp baking soda

- ¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, beat the butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until creamy.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, ground black sesame seeds, baking soda, and salt.

4. Blend Dough: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. If it’s too crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp of water.

5. Shape Cookies: Roll tablespoon-sized dough balls, flatten slightly, and place on the baking sheet. For extra crunch, press a few whole black sesame seeds on top.

6. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips: For richer flavor, toast black sesame seeds before grinding. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these wholesome cookies with tea or as a on-the-go snack!
