Description
The salted-fig, sesame, and orange flavor combination is inspired by cookies once made by our friends at Sofra Bakery & Cafe.Although traditionally used in savory dishes, we've found that baharat is good in certain sweets. Our version, Bazaar Baharat, includes a number of ‘sweet spices' that are often used in desserts (cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, mint) — but the surprise is that its cumin works well too, adding balance and depth.For these homey cookies, we've included sesame seeds and tahini for their nutty richness and orange zest for a little sparkle. The cookies are chewy with pleasing crunchy edges and, because the figs are salted, have that addictive interplay of salty and sweet.
