A walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie is made by mixing walnuts, sesame and cinnamon into a flour, sugar and fat-based dough. Shape the dough gently and bake until the edges are lightly golden; let the cookies cool before moving them, since they firm up as they cool.
Yes, you can replace some of the butter with tahini, but the walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie will have a stronger sesame flavor and a denser texture. Make a small test batch, since tahini does not behave exactly like solid butter in cookie dough.
A walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie may crumble if the dough has too much flour or not enough moisture to bind it. Mix only until combined, and if the dough will not hold when pressed, add a little milk and mix briefly.
Chilling walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie dough helps the fat firm up, making the shaped cookies less likely to spread in the oven. It is especially useful if the dough feels soft or sticky; cover it so it does not dry out.
To keep the sesame on a walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie from burning, bake the tray in the middle of the oven and check the cookies near the end. If the sesame is browning too quickly, lower the oven temperature slightly rather than leaving the cookies in until they dry out.
Let a walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie cool completely on a rack before storing it in an airtight container. Trapping steam while the cookies are warm makes them soft, and storing them near moisture also takes away their crisp texture.
Yes, baked walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookies freeze well once they have cooled completely. Separate layers with baking paper in a sealed container, then thaw the cookies at room temperature so condensation does not make their surfaces soggy.
A walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie pairs well with coffee, black tea or chai; the warm cinnamon and toasted sesame flavors complement all three. Serve it plain for a simple snack, or alongside fruit when you want a less sweet pairing.
For a softer walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie, make the dough slightly thicker and take the cookies out when the centers still look a little soft. They continue to set as they cool, so baking until fully firm in the oven can make them dry.
People with diabetes can include a small walnut, sesame and cinnamon cookie if it fits their meal plan, but its flour and sugar can raise blood glucose. The suitable portion depends on their treatment and glucose response, so regular choices are best discussed with a clinician or dietitian.
