Moroccan Chick Pea Sesame Cookies Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly

Posted on 23rd of July, 2012 by Lévana

A favorite Sephardi Flavor marriage: Sesame and anise. These cookies are impossibly fragrant, crisp and delicious. They get their funky flavor and texture from the chick-pea flour, and are  a snap to adapt to Gluten-Free.

Just to be clear: 2 cups chick pea flour, plus 2 cups any flour of your choice. Total 4 cups flour

Ingredients:

2 cups flour, any flour including gluten-free

2 cups chick pea flour (health food stores)

1 cup natural margarine spread (health food stores)

1 cup sugar

1 cup sesame seeds

¼ cup anise seeds

2 eggs

Good pinch salt

1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. Form little walnut-size balls and flatten them with your hands. Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing flattened cookies 1 inch apart.
Bake about 25 minutes, or a couple minutes longer, until golden and crisp. Store at room temperature in air-tight cookie tins.
