Cookies! Cambodian Sesame Cookies

Can you name the most popular cookie in Asian cuisine? If you said Fortune Cookie, you are wrong. Matter-of-fact, Fortune Cookies are not Asian at all. They were invented in San Francisco, California as a marketing gimmick for an Asian restaurant.

The most popular Asian cookie is the famed Sesame Cookie. These are a very light cookie with a delicate texture and the wonderful nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds. They are a very simple cookie to make at home!


Unlike many American types of cookie, these do not include butter. The fat used in these cookies is shortening. In Asia they will use an animal fat shortening but you can use the usual vegetable shortening you find at your local market.

These cookies are usually served after the meal with a cup of green tea.
