Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 0.5 cup tahini well-stirred
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months or freeze the dough balls on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag—bake from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes. Variations include using dark chocolate chips, adding a pinch of cinnamon, or sprinkling with flaky sea salt before baking. Serve warm with a glass of milk for a classic treat.
