Boomette, these sesame cookies are delicious. I loved the sesame flavor so I added a few more sesame seeds to the recipe. Thank you for posting this recipe.

These are lovley and lacy/delicate as you can see from the photos while the sesame seeds give them an earthy flavour. I made ours gluten free using a rice flour mix (white rice flour and half the amount of tapioca starch. I also kept them corn free by adding some baking soda and organic apple cider vinegar for the baking powder. I did not use (grilled~toasted) sesame seeds and they came out toasted enough for us without doing so. I suspect if you toast them they may be too burnt tasting. By the way, when it says keep them apart on the pan it means it!!! Mine ran into each other and I had spaced them pretty well. Thanks for this recipe I will make again. Made for Ramadan Tag 2010.

Another winner from Boomie. These little treasures are awesome. I really enjoyed the flavor of these tasty little gems. I can't seem to stop eating them...help. I toasted the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan to bring out the nutty flavor. What a great cookie, it was crisp, tender and very fragile. Almost like a wafer cookie in texture. They did spread alot while cooking and were difficult to remove, but more than worth any extra effort. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
