For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. Add a pinch of sea salt to the dough to enhance the sweetness and bring out the tahini flavor. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as vanilla or almond, to customize the flavor profile. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
