Well, hello friends. I am hopping on here to share with you a delicious recipe that my neighbor Deb (in Maine) shared with me! This is lightly sweetened cookie that pairs great with a cup of tea. I share most of my new recipes on my Instagram account–but I know some of you prefer to get my recipes here. So here you go!
I adapted the recipe to make it Low FODMAP (obviously!) and gluten free.
I love the look and taste of these Italian Seeded Cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice, per tolerance
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend (I use Bob's Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (use gluten free, if following a gluten free diet)
- 2/3-1 cup sesame seeds-to coat outside of cookie
- 1/2 cup lactose free milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In medium bowl, beat or whisk egg, oil, sugar, milk, and vanilla.
- In small separate bowl, blend GF flour and baking powder together.
- Slowly add in flour mixture into wet ingredients until dough is formed.
- Use a small scoop--and create balls of dough (about the size of a walnut).
- Dip dough ball in small bowl of lactose free milk, then into small bowl full of sesame seeds--to coat seeds on all sides of cookie dough ball.
- Place sesame covered cookies onto baking tray -leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 15-20 minute--edges and bottom should be lightly browned.

How much milk goes in the dough? 1 tablespoon or 1/2 cup?? I tried the tablespoon but too dry!

You just add the 1 tablespoon on milk to the dough ingredients. The egg, olive oil and 1 tablespoon of milk are the primary liquids in the dough. If you find that it’s too dry–some flour blends vary in how they work in recipes–just increase milk to 2 tablespoons. The other milk (1/2 cup) listed in the ingredients is used to dip the balls of dough in prior to dipping into the sesame seeds. I hope that helps.

Thank you for the clarification. I would recommend changing the instructions to include this info.
