Whole wheat sesame cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds

Step-by-step preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Add the coconut or vegetable oil, brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
4. Add the sesame seeds to the dough and mix until well incorporated.
5. Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.
6. Use a spoon or your fingers to flatten each ball into a cookie shape.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden at the edges and lightly golden on top.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
