SESAME COOKIES - EGG-FREE

Hi friends, am slowly back up to my blogging, soon will come to my routine... After long time, I have prepared the yummy cookies for HBC-Home Baker’s Challenge. Am so sorry HBC hosts and +Priya aks for not participating some previous challenges. +Rafeeda AR  from The Big Sweet Tooth is the May month host, she have suggested varieties of Arabic bakes which all are interesting and new to me. I wish to bake all recipes of the list, but some of the ingredients not available in my place so, I have chosen sesame cookies out of 6 collections such as, 

1. Spinach Fatayer
2. Manakish Zaatar
3. Mushroom Spinach Cigars
4. Umm Ali Egyptian Dessert
5. Arabic Date and Honey Cake
6. Crunchy Sesame Cookies

The cookies taste very well with flavor of sesame seeds. I baked egg-free sesame cookies and I used Nutralite fat spread instead of butter but no compromise in taste. :)
