- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Directions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter & sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in tahini, then add dry ingredients in 2 batches, beating after each addition until fully combined. Dough will be slightly sticky.
-Place sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough (about 1 oz.) and roll into balls. Dip tops of balls in sesame seeds, pressing to adhere, and place, sesame side up, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart.
- Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to leave a little well.
- Add 1 tsp of jam to the center of each cookie
-Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 13–15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool).
