Tahini and Almond Cookies are from Israeli and the source I referred talks about store bought Tahini paste vs homemade. I guess as an Indian, with an exposure to both Andhra and Tamil cuisines, Sesame seeds is a staple and using it in various dishes is as common as many dishes. Maybe that is one of the reasons, why making this cookie didn’t sound so new or different for me.
However, I can’t say the same for Hubby dear, who didn’t like this much as a baked version does taste different from a laddo. On the other hand, Athamma loved it, both for the taste and the sweetness as well. I kept it on the less side as I was already baking too many things and was trying to control the sugar in all the bakes.
This weekend was a busy one for me, trying to bake seven dishes, while I knew I may not be able to make all 7, I felt I should go targetted. I managed only 3 and that itself felt like an achievement. The weekend was so hot and working on an oven was even more terrible. I remember Vaishali always telling me that she was going to bake ahead as she can stand ovens in summer, I didn’t heed much then. Now I surely felt it.
Just as I thought, kids didn’t touch these cookies. When it comes to baked snacks, I almost always bake only those that my boys also eat, in this case, I just couldn’t do that. I realize how my unplanned schedule has backfired. Anyway sometimes, I will have to bake for the elders as well.
So if you are for Sesame flavour, do try this cookie, it comes out good.
