Cranberry Sesame Cookie
July 25, 2008 at 4:39 am | In recipe |
mmm… chewy, sesame goodness! I eat mine straight out of the fridge.
(how’s that for a short intro?)
I’d normally put an s at the end of cookie in the title, but it’d be less fun when spoken out loud.
oh, quick sidenote: I write down exactly what ingredient I use in my recipes, but there’s no doubt that if you don’t have “unsweetened vanilla almond milk”, the world (or the cookie-making experience) will not come to an abrupt end. I think. then again, you might want to be careful on that one…
I’m told they taste even better when prepared the night before, to let the flavors work their magic.
Cranberry Sesame Cookie
for 4 medium-to-large cookies:
preheat oven to 375F. line cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
in a medium bowl, whisk together:
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour [spoon and level]
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/8 t baking soda
pinch fine sea salt
1 T black sesame seeds
1 T brown sesame seeds
2 T dried cranberries
in a small bowl, whisk together:
1 heaping T tahini
1/2 T canola oil
1 generous T unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
combine dry & wet ingredients. divide dough into 4 equal portions [approximately 2 T worth of dough per cookie], flatten a little, leave about an inch between them: the cookies spread some while baking, but not overly so.
bake for 9 minutes. place cookie sheet on a cooling rack. leave cookies on sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring directly onto cooling rack.

not a fan of cranberries. perhaps this would be equally delicious with chocolate…? [what else goes with sesame seeds?]
Comment by b. — July 25, 2008 #
long time no see on my part too, Silvia! it’s a busy Summer, no worries. I don’t know what’s up with WP anyway, it would appear a lot of people are having issues with it lately. I hope you are well.
B. chocolate & tahini are definitely good together, search for Cassie’s chocolate & tahini cookies and my chocolate & tahini quick bread for proof.
other than that, you can also add nothing to the cookies and go for pure and unadulterated sesame “flava”.

Yum, Celine! I think it’s about time I try another one of your cookie recipes…
And out of the blue, just the other day, my super duper picky so-not-vegan sister told me that her favorite cookies I’ve ever made were the snickerdoodles. That is, the recipe I found on your blog. Hahaha.

sesame seeds might just be the coolest seeds in my cupboard. these would make the perfect cookie for a hike! now, let’s see… there are approximately 730 miles between here and where you live. i’ll set a place for you at my dinner table.

Wow. Just wow. These cookies are gorgeous! My mouth is watering. Great job, Celine!

Whoa, I didn’t even know that there were brown sesame seeds! I always buy the black one though, because they’re so pretty. I should make these at work, to satisfy the chocolate-haters!
P.S. I nominated you for the Brillant Weblog Award. The details are on my blog…

Why aren’t there any sesame seeds in my parent’s kitchen? I could be making these right now…and eating them shortly there after… Must. Go. To. Store. Now.
When are you coming out with your cookie cookbook? Because, you are so the goddess of cookieness…

I have some dried raspberries lying on my counter… wouldn’t those be nice with these cookies instead of the cranberries?
Beautiful picture

These look amazing, Celine! I only use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. And all the rest of the ingredients are staples in my house too - yay!

Yum! They look as good as they sound.
Comment by Jackie — July 26, 2008 #
dried raspberries? by all means! if I had those in my kitchen, they wouldn’t live to see the light of day. nom nom nom.
730 miles, Amy? that’s nothing. I’ll be there for breakfast. (next year…)
cookie book, shmookie shmook. (what, am I drunk or something?)
thank you for the comments, nominations, and the loooooooooove, guys.

This recipe looks fabulous! The tahini-cranberry combo sounds divine!

Yum. These remind me of Thanksgiving :). Sesame seeds are actually quite yummy in cookies; I’ve had plain old sesame cookies from my favorite little Japanese store back home :D.

Wow! I think this was the first time I’ve ever followed a recipe without changing anything (except the almond milk, which I didn’t have). These are so good. The only thing I will change next time is omit the cranberries - the sesame flavour is good enough on it’s own. Oh, and double it!
