Cookies with sesame seeds

30 minutes

Sesame cookies are a crunchy treat with a subtle nutty aroma from European cuisine. Sesame, valued for its nutritional properties, gives the cookies a delicate flavor with a hint of caramel. The perfect combination of butter, sugar, and lemon juice creates a harmonious sweetness with a refreshing touch, while cinnamon adds spiciness. The preparation is simple: the dough is whipped, mixed with flour and toasted sesame seeds, then baked until golden brown. Initially soft and sticky, the cookies become pleasantly crunchy as they cool down. They pair wonderfully with morning coffee or tea in cozy company. European chefs often use sesame in baking to make it not only tasty but also healthy. This treat is perfect for those who love simple yet exquisite desserts.
