Tips to bake tahini cookies perfectly
1.
Using quality tahini is key.
Always bake with high-quality tahini, otherwise your cookies will taste bitter and a bit funky, Karadsheh says.

Chill the cookie dough.
Let your cookie dough chill for at least an hour before you bake.
Let them cool before storing them.
Be sure the tahini cookies are fully cooled before transferring them to an airtight container or canister.
Be sure to cover them up tightly, Karadsheh adds.

They will keep for up to one week at room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar.
Using a hand mixer on medium speed, combine until light and fluffy.
Now add the tahini and continue mixing on medium speed until well-incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Transfer the dry ingredients to the tahini mixture, and mix until well-incorporated into a dough.
Place the log on the short end of a large piece of plastic wrap.
Roll the wrap twisting the ends in opposite direction so that the dough log is tightly wrapped.
Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Bake for 15 minutes or so until the cookies are light brown around the edges and set.
Remove from the heat and leave the cookies in the baking sheets to cool briefly, about 10 minutes.
Then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Dust with powdered sugar, if you like.
