"These are cookies of contrast—the earthy, bitter black sesame seeds are brought together with creamy, sweet white chocolate, creating a beautiful blend of taste and texture that we find irresistible."

Tip

These cookies also bake perfectly, if not better, from frozen. This allows you to make a large batch in advance and bake them as and when you need (or bake a single cookie on one of those days, when an oven-warm cookie is the only cure). We recommend rolling them into balls and freezing in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When required, preheat the oven, pop them on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
