Ingredients:

200 grams soft butter
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup tahini. If there’s a layer of oil floating on top of the jar, stir.
2 cups plus 4 Tblsp. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
optional: powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 160 C – 325 F.

1. Cream the butter and the sugar together.
2. Add the vanilla and the tahini and blend again.
3. Combine the flour and the baking powder; add to the tahini mixture.
4. Form balls the size of walnuts and place them on a baking sheet protected with baking paper. The dough is dry and crumbly, so squeeze it together to make the balls.

Bake for 13-15 minutes. Do not bake longer. The cookies need a little moisture to retain their shape and not crumble.

Dust with powdered sugar if you wish.
