    If you like tahini and sesame seeds, this crunchy cookie is sure to please. It's one of those neat, not-too-sweet treats that's perfect for an evening snack or for the lunchbox. The recipe doubles easily for those occasions, such as holidays, when you need more or would like to share. This recipe makes 16 to 20 cookies, depending on how much you drop onto the baking sheet each time. For a larger batch, this doubles easily. Photos by Evan Atlas.
