Ingredients

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
100 g (1/2 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
150 g (1 + 1/4 cups) plain flour
110 g (1 stick) softened butter
180 g (6 + 1/3 oz) tahini
90 g (1/2 cup, lightly packed) light brown soft sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 and line 3 baking sheets with greaseproof paper or silicone liners.
Whisk together the butter, tahini and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy then whisk in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl sift together the flour and bicarbonate of soda then stir it into the butter mixture until combined.
Scoop out small amounts of the dough (about a tablespoon) and roll into balls, place them well spaced apart on the baking trays as they spread in the oven. (the dough is quite soft but as it is oily it shouldn't stick to your hands).
