Bakery-Style Sesame Savory Cookies Recipe (Crumbly)
Bakery-style sesame savory cookies recipe: a soft dough made with butter and vegetable oil is shaped into small balls, dipped in a molasses-water mix, coated in toasted sesame, and baked until nicely browned. Keep mixing brief and shape quickly to maintain that crumbly texture.
Ingredients
1. For the dough
2. For coating
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven
Heat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Make the dough
In a bowl, combine butter, vegetable oil, egg, powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add flour little by little and mix just until you get a soft, non-sticky dough. Stop as soon as it comes together; overmixing can reduce the crumbly texture.
Shape quickly
Pinch off small pieces and roll into bite-size balls. Work promptly so the dough doesn’t dry out; you can cover it with a clean towel while shaping.
Mix the molasses wash
Stir molasses and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Coat with sesame
Dip each ball in the molasses-water mixture, then roll in toasted sesame seeds until fully coated.
Bake
Place cookies on the tray with a little space between them. Bake at 180°C for about 18–22 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned; adjust to your oven.
Cool and store
Let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight jar to keep them fresh for days.
