How to Make Sesame Walnut Cookies: A Simple Guide

Sesame walnut cookies, or "芝麻桃酥," are a beloved Chinese treat with a crumbly texture and nutty flavor. Here’s a concise guide to making them at home.

Ingredients:

- 150g all-purpose flour

- 80g sugar

- 50g vegetable oil

- 1 egg

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/4 tsp salt

- 30g black sesame seeds ( toasted for aroma)

Steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add toasted sesame seeds.

2. Combine wet ingredients: Beat the egg and oil until blended. Pour into the dry mix, stirring until a dough forms (do not overmix).

3. Shape the dough: Divide into small balls (approx. 15g each). Flatten each into a disc, about 0.5cm thick.

4. Bake: Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Place discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden. Cool completely—they crisp up as they cool!

Tips:

- For extra richness, replace 20g flour with almond flour.

- Adjust sugar to taste; traditional recipes use slightly less for a subtle sweetness.

- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.

These cookies pair perfectly with tea or coffee, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. Enjoy this homemade classic!
