Tahini and Browned Butter Cookies
Tahini isn’t just for hummus and sauces. Here it gives rich, chewy cookies a nutty flavor and pleasant bitterness that plays off the sweetness of the sugar. Browned butter is butter that is cooked until the milk solids caramelize, which infuses the fat with a flavor reminiscent of toasted nuts. The browned butter in these cookies accentuates the sesame notes of the tahini. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.

18 cookies
Don’t forget to stir the tahini. The oil separates and rises to the surface on standing, so before use, tahini requires mixing until the paste is creamy and homogeneous.
