Made by mixing toasted sesame seeds with honey and cinnamon into the dough, these cookies are a spiced classic for Turkish tea time. Their exterior is lightly crisp and their centers are soft, making them especially popular on cold winter days.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Beat the butter with the honey and egg, then mix in the toasted sesame seeds. Add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and knead into a soft dough.
Pinch off pieces of dough 3 centimeters in diameter, roll them into balls, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C / 345°F for 18 minutes, until lightly browned underneath.
Stay by the pan while toasting the sesame seeds; they can burn quickly and taste bitter. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), sesame, egg, and dairy (butter).
