How to cook deliciously - Chewy Tahini Blondies

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven and prep the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan, then line the pan with 2 criss-crossing strips of parchment paper, buttering between each layer and leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Butter the top and sides of the parchment.

2 . Stage

Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cardamom, salt, pepper, and the black and white sesame seeds. In another medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated, then fold in the tahini until smooth.

3 . Stage

Bake blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden on the outside and the center doesn’t jiggle but is still soft, 25 to 30 minutes.

4 . Stage

Serve: Remove from the oven, cool in the pan, and cut into 16 equal squares.
