Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup tahini
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup sesame seeds, or as needed
2 tablespoons honey, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cream butter, tahini, brown sugar, and white sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Pour in egg and almond extract; mix to combine.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix into butter mixture until just combined.
Pour sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll balls in sesame seeds to lightly coat. Place on 2 ungreased cookie sheets; drizzle with honey.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
