    Echoing the positive reviews for this recipe. I got ten cookies. I was worried I wasn’t gentle enough in my pan banging but it worked out fine. This does use up a bunch of sesame seeds so if you have some laying around this is a great way to use some up. Like another person said, try not to bake too long. Will make again.

    Very good! I got ten and a half cookies after measuring them out by weight. They do taste like a nutty chocolate chip cookie. I was worried they would only appeal to adults but my nine-year-old loved them too.

    Delicious, huge cookies with the perfect chewy centers and crisp edges. The sesame was quite prominent, so these are definitely for sesame lovers. I ran out of sesame seeds, so could only bake 1 pan the first day; refrigerated the dough balls overnight and baked the rest the 2nd day, still slightly chilled from the fridge, and they were just as good.

    Wonderful recipe enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The flavor has the same satisfaction as a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, but with a slightly different flavor and much different texture from the sesame. I found the balls of dough way too big and my cookies spread too much. So I halved the cookie size. Also purposefully baked each batch four minutes longer than called for because I prefer them browned and chewy throughout.

    Very good. Watch times to not overcook. Will repeat

    These are fantastic for grown-ups. My first time making pan-banging cookies, was quite impressed how the process delivers! These cookies are definite keepers.
