Ingredients:  
1 1/4 cups brown rice flour
1/2 tspn baking powder
1/4 tspn salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup well-stirred tahini
1 tspn vanilla
1/3 cup hulled sesame seeds
Directions:
Directions:
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. With an electric mixer at medium-high speed, cream the butter and sugar and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Then beat in tahini and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until a crumbly dough forms. Transfer dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and press into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350º. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place sesame seeds in a small bowl. Roll dough into 1" balls (about the size of a small walnut), then roll each ball in the seeds to coat. Place them 2" apart on the baking sheets. Bake, switching position of the baking sheets after about 7 minutes, until cookies are puffed and starting to crack, 12-15 minutes total. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes (they will be very fragile when hot), then transfer to a rack to fully cool.
