**I was gifted a product sample of Chocolate Sesame Butter by Soom Foods.  All opinions stated here are straight from my heart.**

Don’t forget to scroll all the way to the bottom of the post for a fabulous giveaway from the Soom sisters!

Did you have a nice Mother’s Day?  I did!  My 7 year old woke me up promptly at 7 am to tell me it was Mother’s Day.  In case I had forgotten, you know, that it’s my day to sleep in and all 😉

But it was all good because 20 minutes after that he made me coffee (all by himself!) and brought it up to me so I could drink it in bed.  That kid is a keeper, I’m telling ya.  Now that I know he can do that, you better believe I plan on exploiting it to the fullest.

We all had brunch together and it was so nice ( 🙂 mimosas! 🙂 ), but before we did that I just had to take advantage of the utterly spectacular weather, and the rare occasion that none of us had stains on our shirts.  So I whipped out the ol’ tripod and snapped as many pics as my wiggly 5 year old could endure.

So here we are, beginning a new week, and I’m so excited to show you these fabulous cookies today, because, a) they are outrageous! and b) the star ingredient is a fabulous new product I only recently discovered.

It’s Soom chocolate sesame butter!

Soom Chocolate Sesame Butter | Baking a Moment

Have you heard about it yet?  It’s naturally gluten-free, vegan, certified kosher and non-GMO.  It’s made from the highest quality, Ethiopian white Humera sesame seeds.  It’s way lower in sugar than most other chocolate spreads (only 7 grams of sugar, plus 4 grams of protein and 15% of your daily iron).  It’s a local Philadelphia company (<–LOVE that!), started by three sisters.  And it’s got a great, super nutty, deep chocolate-y flavor.

Shelby, Jackie and Amy were kind enough to send me a jar, and I just fell head over heels for the stuff.  It is so good.  It’s soooorta like Nutella, but less sweet (which is a plus, in my opinion).  Also it’s very nutty, but not in a hazelnutty kind of way.  More in a peanutty kind of way.  You know how when you make a peanut dressing for noodles or whatever, you add toasted sesame oil, but it adds an even peanuttier taste?  It’s like that.  Sesame, all the way, but a little peanutty tasting.

There’s no peanut in it, in case I’ve totally confused you by now.  In fact, there’s no nut of any kind, which is why I’m thinking it would make a great substitute for families with tree nut allergies.

I made it into cookies!

And then I sandwiched the cookies around a creamy chocolate sesame buttercream filling.  And then I dipped them in dark chocolate.  And then I sprinkled them with sesame seeds.  Because I just. can’t. stop.

Send help.  Please.

I don’t know what it is with these cookies, they just keep jumping into my mouth.  Soon they will be all gone.  And I will need to buy more chocolate sesame butter so’s I can make more.

Instructions
 

To Make the Cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the butter, chocolate sesame butter, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, and mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Add the egg, and stir until well blended.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt, and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Place some of the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper, and roll to a thickness of ¼ inch (I use rolling pin rings to achieve a uniform thickness).
  • Cut cookies out with a 2-inch fluted circle cookie cutter, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely before filling.

To Make the Chocolate Sesame Butter Buttercream Filling:

  • Combine the butter and chocolate sesame butter in a large mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until completely incorporated.

To Assemble:

  • Place about a tablespoon of filling on the back side of one cookie, and sandwich with another cookie.
  • Melt the dark chocolate melting wafers according to the directions on the package, and dip half the cookie. Set on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with a pinch of sesame seeds. Cool completely.
