These cookies are very good. The dough is very soft…and delicious too! Lol. I just wondered why mine done have those lovely rings? The cookies puffed up and I did bang away but they don’t look like yours…and I like tht look. Otherwise yummy!

Absolutely delicious and fun to create. Have made several times, but this is the first time I’ve used two colors of sesame seeds. Doesn’t change the taste, but elevates the presentation. The sesame oil takes this over the top.

Made these the other day but was nervous about 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame so I only did one. My coworkers loved them! They actually looked pretty close to the picture too, will definitely make again!

Hi Sarah! This is, as I have commented before, my favorite of all my favorites of your recipes. Thought you would be interested in this tidbit: I subscribe to Delicious Magazine, published in England. The January 2024 Issue features “Pan-Bang Cookies”. Although some of the techniques vary, it is all clearly, unmistakably inspired by you. I was surprised to see no reference to you at all in what I consider to be a very classy and inspiring publication. But it is really cool to see your influence in baking “across the pond”.

I made these with mini chocolate chips. These were delicious! I love the crispy edges and chewy, soft center. Thank you for the recipe.

In reply to Sara. Yes, you can freeze the dough balls!

I’ve already made these cookies twice and I AM OBSESSED!! I added a tablespoon of tahini (and a bit less of the sesame oil) along with chopped dark chocolate – the flavor combination is just otherworldly. I would like to bake some for the upcoming holidays and I wanted to know if I can prepare it ahead of time and freeze the dough? Thank you so much!!

Cheers

I had a lot of fun going to our local Asia Mall in MN to find the black sesame seeds so I could try making these cookies. It was also my first time trying your pan-banging method. Where I stumbled was I didn’t measure my cookie dough balls so the cookies all baked and banged together (at least the first pan did!) What a fun flavor profile, though, and it got my Midwestern cookie testers to say “now that’s different” when they tried this spin on a chocolate chip cookie! I think in this case “different” meant good but they’ll need a few more cookies to get to saying they are “really good”! Thanks for sharing your recipes and methods!
