Eat 'em Sesame

I've been in kind of a cooking funk lately.  As in, I just don't want to cook.  The husband has actually had to resort to cooking a few dinners to avoid starvation.  I was feeling a little guilty about it, so the other night I whipped up a batch of the sesame seed cookies he likes as a little gesture.  (They're easy to make, so it really was a pretty small gesture.) Still, he was pleased and gulped down four cookies to show his appreciation.



These cookies are for real sesame seed lovers.  At the first bite, you think, "Wow, these are really seedy and different. I don't know . . . ."  Then you finish the cookie and think, "I want another one."  At least that was how I felt the first time I made the cookies.

Look at all those seeds!


I found the recipe on About.com where it was posted by Diana Rattray.

  2. Oh yum. They're so interesting looking. And by the title I thought it would be sesame chicken. :-) Never thought to have those in a cookie before. Wonder how it would be with some chocolate chips...

  5. I think we all go through patches where we feel like we we're not inspired to cook. But when you're uninspired you come up with wonderful creations like these! Love sesame seeds - they add great texture and flavour xx

  7. ooo... these sesame seed cookies remind me of sesame seed balls. It look semi similar, just that the other is a ball and has mung bean fillings. Your cookies look very yummy!!! Hope you come out of your funk soon, I love to see what you are cooking =)

  8. Thanks for sharing another delicious recipe :) If it makes you feel any better, I'm almost always in a 'cooking funk'! Every now and again, I get myself organised and enjoy it or if my sons cook with me that helps. Otherwise poor Chris just has to put up with what I can conjure up! Maggie xx

  13. Hmmmm, interesting. I think the only time I've eaten sesame seeds was on a hamburger bun. What do they taste like?

    I've been in a cooking funk too.
