Black Sesame Cookies

I've baked some black sesame cookies on Saturday.

It's very tasty but a bit sweet to me.

I think I'll reduce the sugar next time if I bake it again although my family said it's alright.

I'm now baking muffins for my breakfast.

I can't believe I can keep it up, this is the 3rd week I'm having muffins.

Well, I try not to have the same favour every time.

Back to college tomorrow~~~ end of holiday -____-

Recipe:

1 egg

100g butter (unsalted)

190g plain flour

120g sugar (reduced to 110g might be better)

soda 1/2 tsp

70g black sesame seeds

Method:

1. Grind 40g black sesame seeds into powder.

2. Butter (softened) + sugar, beat until smooth. 

3. Add egg & mix well.

4. Add sieved plain flour, soda & black sesame powder & mix well.

5. Add 30g of black sesame seeds & mix well.

6. Put it in the fridge for 30 min.

7. Roll into small sized balls, place 5 cm apart, flatten slightly.

8. Bake at 170'C for 15 - 20 min.

I didn't grind the black sesame seeds, instead I got it from a Japanese grocery shop called Rice Wine Shop in Soho.

The black sesame seeds can be replaced with the white ones because it's available in most supermarkets.

Well, I tried this recipe before with almond powder (60g) & white sesame seeds (20g).

I forgot to take a photo before eating it all.

It tasted the same, but I forgot to reduce the sugar this time when I used black sesame seeds.
