Sesame Cardamom Tea Cookies are a unique twist on traditional tea cookies. The nutty taste of sesame seeds pairs perfectly with the warm and spicy flavor of cardamom, making these cookies perfect for an afternoon tea party. They are quick and easy to make, and don't require any special equipment or ingredients. Whether you're having a cozy tea party at home or serving baked goods at a larger event, these cookies are sure to be a hit.

Instructions

1.In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground cardamom, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
2.In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine/butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Once well-combined, add the tahini, vanilla extract, and fresh ginger (if using) to the bowl and mix well.
3.Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4.Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.54cm) balls, then roll them in sesame seeds to coat. Space the balls out on a lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a fork.
5.Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
