Black Sesame Seed Cookies
It's been a while since I baked something last time...
These sesame seed cookies turned out just so-so because I omitted the almond powder called for in the recipe. I guess it made a big difference in the texture.
Well, next time I'll try making these using almond powder.

They look good though!
ReplyDeleteyeah it looks good. what about toasting ur sesame seed and then grind thenm into paste and uses them as u will with almond powder. replace the black sesame seed with white as colouring and texture.
ReplyDeleteobachan, could you possibly post the recipe? pretty please? :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look cute! ^_^ What's the texture like without the almond powder?
ReplyDeleteOW, the idea of sesame always keeps me interested. They look fantastic Obachan! How do you made them so perfectly cirlced? One more question, does black sesame seed come from JApan? I often see them used only in Japanese bakery in my hometown.
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous Obachan. The shape is spotless. Tell me your secret.
ReplyDeleteThe only black sesame seeds I've come across were from a East Indian food mart. I bought some and was promptly horrified because they smelled like gasoline!! In a curry-redolent environment like an Indian store I can see why I didn't smell it before buying it. I'm terrified to use them. I doubt I will because I don't think these are the black sesame as are used in your cookies. I can't imagine why anyone would want to eat something that smells like gas. I hope I find some soon.
ReplyDeleteim guessing these are sweet cookies?
ReplyDeleteho they look so good!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny i've just posted on my blog a black sesame ice cream :-)

Interesting idea. I wonder how it would turn out texture-wise.

A little hard, actually. I guess with almond powder they would be more crumbly…??

Thank you. I used a round cookie cutter. And the sesame seeds are from Japan.

Mmmm… strange. Black sesame seeds smelling like gasoline?? I wonder why. Luckily, mine smelled just like regular black sesame seeds.

Yep, but not too sweet so that it won’t spoil the flavor of toasted black sesame seeds.

I just checked out your black sesame ice cream. It looks gorgeous with white sesame seeds on top! :D
I sell black sesame seeds and mine smell like sesame. Would love to post your cookie recipe on my site.
ReplyDeleteP.S my seeds grown here in the USA
Hi mark,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I'm going to experiment on this sometime soon, combining a couple of Japanese recipes I found on the net. I'll let you know the result when ready. :)
