Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside for later.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat them together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the tahini mixture and add the vanilla extract. Continue to mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
6. Shape the Cookies: With a spoon or cookie scoop, take a small amount of dough (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
7. Add Sesame Seeds: Lightly press down on each cookie ball to flatten it slightly, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, pressing them in gently.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
