First Bake from 108 Asian Cookies
Made the Black Sesame White Chocolate cookies from 108 Asian Cookies. Oh my God these are soooo good. I don’t know why I never thought to use black sesame in a cookie before but it’s amazing! Pairs perfectly with the white chocolate.
Mine are spread out more and aren’t as black as the ones in the book because I tried making my own black sesame paste and followed a recipe I found online that has you add some neutral oil to thin it out and I probably added too much. I also tried making exactly the amount of black sesame paste I needed, but I should have made more so that the blender blades were covered by a couple inches. As a result the paste wasn’t completely smooth and black. The flavour and texture of the cookies turned out perfectly even so!
Next time I’ll make a bunch of black sesame paste (this recipe is going to be in my regular rotation anyway) so that the blender gets it perfectly smooth.
The recipe gets a perfect 10/10 from me. Off to a solid start with this book and can’t wait to try another recipe!
