How to Make Sesame Fork Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ½ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Beat until just combined.
- Beat in 1 large egg, ½ cup tahini (or peanut butter), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in any remaining all-purpose flour (if needed) and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball using the tines of a fork, pressing in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
