30 minutes
Sesame and flaxseed cookies are an elegant and simple treat that brings a refined taste of European cuisine. With an abundance of sesame and flaxseeds, they have a rich nutty aroma and a crispy texture. Historically, such cookies were often made as a healthy snack since sesame and flax are rich in healthy fats, proteins, and vitamins. They can be served as a standalone treat with tea or coffee or used as a crunchy addition to desserts. A light sweetness balanced with a pinch of salt makes them versatile—they will appeal to both sweet lovers and those who appreciate rich, natural flavors. The key is to let the cookies cool for extra crispiness.
