Black Sesame Tea Cookies (No-Bake Korean Pressed Cookies)

Black Sesame Tea Cookies (No-Bake Korean Pressed Cookies)

Wipe the dasik mold and mixing bowl completely dry, because any moisture blurs the pressed pattern. Whisk 120 g roasted black sesame powder with 40 g almond flour and 1 g salt, work in 45 g honey and 20 g rice syrup until the mixture clumps like damp sand, then knead in 1 tsp sesame oil for about 1 minute. Mold it once a firmly squeezed portion holds without cracking, and rest the pressed cookies in an airtight container for 30 minutes.

About this dish

Nothing is cooked: roasted black sesame powder and almond flour are bound with honey and rice syrup and pressed into a carved dasik mold.

A very thin dusting of pine nut powder inside the mold makes the fine pattern stand out on the black surface.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wipe the dasik mold and mixing bowl completely dry, and keep the pine nut powder separate for later.

    Any moisture can blur the pressed pattern, so check the surface before mixing.

  2. 2

    Put 120g roasted black sesame powder, 40g almond flour, and 1g salt in the bowl.

    Whisk down to the bottom until the color looks even and no pale almond flour streaks remain.

  3. 3

    Add 45g honey and 20g rice syrup to the center instead of splashing them around the bowl.

    Press and fold with a spatula until the mixture clumps like damp sand.

  4. 4

    Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil and knead the mixture for about 1 minute more.

    Squeeze a small portion firmly in your hand to check that it holds its shape without cracking.

  5. 5

    If the mixture crumbles, press and mix it further with a spatula, then cover briefly so the honey and syrup spread through the powders. Shape when a firmly squeezed portion no longer cracks.

  6. 6

    Dust the mold very lightly with the 15g pine nut powder and pack the dough in without gaps.

    Press firmly, release each cookie, then rest them in an airtight container for 30 minutes before serving.
