Black Sesame Cookies

Servings: 3

As I was experimenting and expanding my palate for sweets, I was reminded of sesame ice cream and thought why not use black sesame in cookies! Viola! This makes for an exceptional cookie that keeps the deep flavour and aroma.

An excellent pairing of East meets West if you ask me!
