Ingredients

8 ounces semisweet chocolate

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in tahini. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat eggs until frothy. Add brown sugar and vanilla; beat until well combined and light. Beat in chocolate mixture. Beat in flour mixture just until combined. Cover dough; chill about 30 minutes, until easy to handle.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in sesame seeds to coat. Place on cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until puffed and set on the bottoms. Transfer cookies to wire rack; cool completely.
