Easy Chocolate Black Sesame Cookies (No Mixer)
Report
These easy Chocolate Black Sesame Cookies are delicious but super simple to make in UNDER 30 MINUTES. You simply stir the melted butter into the dry ingredients. (No stand mixer is needed, saving you precious wash-up time!) The nuttiness of the black sesame elevates the chocolate and makes it a more grown-up, not overly sweet cookie, with crisp edges and a soft, cake-like interior.

Ingredients
- ½ Cup unsweeteened black sesame seed powder (125g or 4.4 oz) You can buy a bottle in the Asian grocery, online or grind your own from black sesame seeds. If grinding your own, there will be some volume loss after grinding, so grind 5% more or 6.25g/ 0.22 oz. Highly recommend weighing the sesame seed powder and brown sugar, as they both tend to clump.
- 0.4 lb unsalted butter If using salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
- 2 eggs room temeprature, medium to large-sized
- 1¼ Cup chocolate fevres, around 60% cocoa Or to taste. Note that using a chocolate with less cocoa will make the cookies sweeter. Conversely, using chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage will make them more earthy. You can also use chopped chocolate. (If you substitute with chocolate chips, note that those contain stabilisers which may impact how the chocolate melts into the cookie dough. The taste won't be as nice too.) You wil need about 10-20 more if you want to see chocolate pieces in the dough, as the 1¼Cups of chocolate simply melts into the dough.
- 1½ Cups all-purpose flour you can substitute with self-raising flour. (Leave out the baking soda if you do so. The amount by which the cookie rises will change, depending on the formulation of the self-raising flour.
- ⅘ Cups brown sugar 160g or 5.64 oz. I strongly recommend weighing this as it clumps crazily, so if you rely on sccoping it, you're unlikely to get the right amount for the recipe. (The cookies will be too sweet or too bitter.)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda omit if using self-raising flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt omit if using salted butter

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F/ 177C/ 157C fan.
- Over low heat, melt the butter. (Do not let it boil.)
- Whilst the butter is melting, beat the eggs.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients then mix in the chocolate fevres.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry-ingredients and mix. (The chocolate will end up melting into the dough.)
- Once well-mixed, stir the eggs into the dark dough.
- Use a cookie dough scoop or ice-cream scoop to scoop the cookies onto parchment paper or a Silpat. They will spread in the oven so leave 2-3 inches in between.Optional: if you want to see chocolate bits in the cookies, add 1-2 chocolate fevres per cookie before putting in the oven.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes till the edges are crisp but the interiors are still soft and cake-like.
Notes
- I love chocolate but be careful not to use too much, or your cookie will be too soft and crumble.
- Brown butter: you can also use browned butter instead of melted butter.
- Substitutes: You can use white sesame seeds instead but reduce the cookies will be sweeter.
