  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup black sesame seeds

  • Add the agave syrup, vanilla and egg, to the bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Add the whole wheat pastry flour, rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  • Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a small bowl. Mix to combine the colors evenly.
  • Dab some vegetable oil on the palms of your hands, then roll the cookie dough into 1 Tbsp. balls, then roll them in the sesame seeds.
