Since I came down with a rather nasty cold today (still sneezing, coughing, blegh ack dies)...I called out, stayed home and decided I should toss...er...I mean, make some cookies instead!
This comes from the May 2015 issue of Cooking Light magazine, with a few tweaks added :B
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar (used 1/3)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (1/2 stick of margarine)
Mix in a small bowl for 2 minutes, then add in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beat for one minute...
In a separate larger bowl, put in 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk together...
Mix the wet with the dry together, adding in 3 ounces finely chopped white chocolate (or, 1/2 bag of white chocolate chips :P)
I found this to be VERY dry when mixing together, so I added in 1/3 cup water which helped things considerably! (recipe does not say to add in)
Preheat the oven to 350F and cook for 12 minutes (I made it 15), your best bet is to cook these in small balls (or refrigerate the dough overnight, which I didn't do) on parchment paper...luckily I had some non-stick foil on my end which helped!
Then take out, let cool on a cookie tray and devour !
Enjoy!

Sorry that you've come down with the "ick"! Get well quickly!
Tahini in cookies! INTERESTING!
You're right - it sure looks like there's not a lot of wet ingredients there to balance the dry. Nearly like a shortbread dough. Wonder if the original author accidentally left out an ingredient?
Definitely a new taste to try!
PS: Wuff going to be making "Ham balls" for a potluck on Sunday. New photos and recipe to follow, for FACCC. And wuffy hasn't forgotten those red beans and rice!

Did a bit of google researching, and of 8 recipes, nearly all seem to use just about the same proportions of dry ingredients to tahini and butter (or honey) as your's does. Apparently, they are relying on the tahini sauce/paste as one of the wetting agents, along with the butter or honey. All of them read like a very thick, dry dough that you hand-roll into balls and slightly mash, or dip into sesame seeds or similar items. Sort of like "Italian Wedding" cookies (only different, *grins*).
Definitely not a "spoon and drop" batter for these.
This doesn't diminish wuff's longing to try these though! Tahini - sesame cookies sound VERY "yum"!
