Sesame Cookies (Almost Fat-Free)


I wanted to try a recipe from my newly bought chinese cookbook from Taipei - thus chose this recipe for it's simplicity - using only a few ingredients. Also it's a sort of guilt-free cookies cos there's not one drop of oil or butter (other than the natural oil in the sesame seeds & eggs). My 2nd tray of cookies were much better, ie, crispier and crunchier as i baked it longer. These cookies are delicious and light! If under-baked, it is not as crunchy and gives a more sponge cake texture which i don't quite like. I like crispier stuff..lol!

RECIPE (loosely translated from Chinese):-
Sesame Cookies

Ingredients:
-2 large eggs
-100g of fine/caster sugar
-110g cake flour
-1g of salt
-1/4 cup of sesame seeds (enough to cover all the cookies)

Method:
1) Heat oven at 200C
2) Whisk the eggs and sugar till light and fluffy
3) Fold in the cake flour & salt into the egg/sugar mixture
4) Pipe the batter into small rounds on cookie sheet (like macarons) & sprinkle sesame seeds all over.
5) Bake for 10-12 mins or until the top turns brown.
