experiment: crunchy peanut sesame cookies
March 18th, 2008 by bitterbutton
roll-out peanut butter cookies! i used this recipe and added a little nutmeg and cardamom to the dough. the recipe calls for cornstarch to be used in place of a small amount of flour–i’m assuming it helps absorb some of the oiliness of the peanut butter and makes a more tender roll-out dough.
i topped the cookies with white and black sesame seeds before baking; they added a different level of nuttiness and went really well with all the spices.
i love the hot pink nonpareils as an accent to the natural look of the sesame seeds.
yeah, i did use tweezers to hand-place each sesame seed and hot pink sprinkle. it didn’t last long.
