How do you make Antep kahkesi?

Where does Antep kahkesi come from?
Antep kahkesi comes from the Gaziantep region of Türkiye. It is part of the area’s traditional baking, and the name distinguishes this local tahini-and-walnut cookie from other regional foods called kahke.
Is Antep kahkesi the same as kahke?
Antep kahkesi is a regional type of kahke, rather than a name for every food called kahke. Kahke recipes differ across regions, and not all versions use the tahini and walnuts associated with Antep kahkesi.
How is Antep kahkesi usually served?
Antep kahkesi is often served as a sweet snack with tea or coffee. Its tahini-and-walnut flavor makes it suitable for a small treat after a meal or for sharing with guests.

Yes, you can freeze Antep kahkesi. Place the cooled cookies in a sealed freezer-safe container, separating layers if needed, and thaw them at room temperature before serving.
Why does Antep kahkesi crumble?

What is Antep kahkesi?
Antep kahkesi is a traditional cookie from Gaziantep, made with tahini and walnuts. Baking gives it a firm, lightly crisp bite, while the sesame-rich tahini and nuts bring a toasted, fragrant flavour. It is sweet and substantial rather than delicate.
In its home region, it is commonly offered with tea, whether as a treat for guests or alongside a break during the day. English-speaking readers elsewhere can enjoy it in much the same way, with tea or coffee. Flour and sugar provide much of its carbohydrate, while tahini and walnuts make it relatively rich in fat and filling. Since the cookie is quite substantial, try a modest piece with an unsweetened drink.
