Sesame Rice Cookies
A traditional Vietnamese treat built from glutinous rice flour and coconut milk, pressed into discs, crusted in toasted sesame seeds and baked until the edges crisp while the centre stays soft and chewy. These cookies lean on the nutty perfume of toasted sesame and the faint sweetness of coconut rather than butter or chocolate, giving them a texture closer to a chewy rice cracker than a Western cookie.

Instructions
1
In a bowl, whisk the glutinous rice flour, sugar and salt together.
2
Stir in the coconut milk and melted coconut oil, mixing until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball, then flatten slightly into a disc about 2cm thick.
4
Spread the toasted sesame seeds on a plate and press each disc into the seeds on both sides until fully coated.
5
Arrange the discs on a lined baking sheet, spaced apart, and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 16-18 minutes until the edges turn golden and the seeds are fragrant.
