Yum! What a delicious, adult cookie! (My kids weren't crazy about them, but that's okay - more for me!) I love the citrus and sesame flavor, and as stated, they are excellent with tea. I'm a little lazy, so I made these by doing the following: I didn't have tahini, so I blended about 4-5 tbsp of sesame seeds w/ 1/2 tsp sesame oil and maybe 2 teaspoons of veg oil in the food processor to make a paste. Then, I added the 3/4 cup sesame seeds and pulsed until they were ground. I added the flour and sugar and pulsed a couple more times, then added the juices and pulsed until the batter was blended together. I didn't read very closely, so I didn't let the batter sit for an hour, but I just spread the cookies and baked as directed. They came out wonderfully, but I don't know if they should have looked or tasted differently or not, as I've never made tuiles before. Thanks for a unique, delicious cookie that looks pretty, too!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
