I often find myself wondering what snacks to give to my son during the day. He’s 5 and loves having tiny snacks between meals, apart from his daily fruit portion. I’m trying to avoid store-bought when possible and I’m glad that my little man agrees with me as he loves my homemade treats more than anything I could buy at the store. It’s lovely to see him happily chewing on the biscuits or cookies I made.. or we both made as he likes to get involved in the process sometimes. Usually, he loves anything with chocolate, but I was surprised to hear him say that he loves these sesame seed biscuits, especially with peanut butter. Yes, filling them with peanut butter was his idea and I quickly jumped on the bandwagon as we both love peanut butter. So I give you sesame seed peanut butter sandwich biscuits- these crisp, rich, butter biscuits filled with a thin layer of peanut butter! They are rich and melt in your mouth, despite their initial crunchy texture. The sesame seed flavor is delicate and I would say that it’s peanut butter the one to stand out if you’re thinking to use it as a filling. But the biscuits are just as good plain and simple – they store great in an airtight container or cookie jar and taste even better after one or two days.

ROMANIAN!

Snacks-urile intre mese sunt o obisnuinta la noi in casa si prefer sa le fac eu, si nu sa le cumpar. Piciul meu e cel care imi cere mereu ceva de rontait, pe principiul – putin si des si spre fericirea mea, si el le prefera pe cele facute in casa. Desi preferata lui e ciocolata, am avut marea surprindere sa-l aud spunand ca acestti biscuiti sunt super si dupa ce a rontait cativa goi, a avut ideea sa-i umplem cu unt de arahide. Eu nu am zis nu, evident, caci ne place untul de arahide amandurora si asa s-au nascut acesti biscuiti senvis. Insa biscuitii sunt buni si simpli, se pastreaza bine si parca sunt mai buni a doua sau a treia zi.

Ingrediente:

• 130g faina alba
• 60g faina integrala
• 1 praf de sare
• 1 ou
• 80g unt, temperatura camerei
• 50g zahar pudra
• 30g seminte de susan, prajite
• Unt de arahide (optional)

Mod de preparare:

1. Preinzalziti cuptorul la 180C si tapetati o tava mare de copt cu hartie de copt.
2. Mixati oul cu zaharul pana isi dubleaza volumul apoi adaugati untul moale.
3. Incorporati cele doua tipuri de faina, un praf de sare si semintele de susan si framantati aluatul de cateva ori apoi formati o bila.
4. Infasurati bila de aluat in folie si dati la rece 30 minute.
5. Puneti aluatul pe masa de lucru infainata si intindeti intr-o foaie subtire – aproximativ 5mm grosime.
6. Taiati fursecuri cu un cutter de forma dorita si asezati fiecare fursec pe tava de copt.
7. Coaceti pentru 10-12 minute sau pana marginile incep sa devina usor aurii.
8. Lasati biscuitii sa se raceasca in tava.
9. Umpleti biscuitii cu unt de arahide daca doriti.
