Servings: 48 cookies
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 140 g all-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • 75 g almond flour (3/4 cup)
  • 66 g sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 stick butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1/2 cup or 115 g)
  • 1 egg well beaten
  • 4 g mixed black and white sesame seeds enough for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Place the flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Run for 30 seconds or until everything is well mixed.
  • Place butter cubes on top and run for 30 to 60 seconds or until all butter is incorporated. Note: it will not form a dough.
  • Turn mixture out onto a clean work surface and knead until you have a dough that sticks together, about a minute.
  • Place dough between two pieces of parchment and roll to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour.
  • Use a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter to cut out as many cookies as possible, placing them on a baking sheet as you work. Re-roll and cut more cookies from the scraps. Place cookie rounds in the freezer for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment.
  • Brush cookies with egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, lightly pressing seeds to ensure they stick.
  • Transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving an inch of space between cookies. Bake 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and golden.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
