Description

Coconut Tree Sesame Seed Cookies are thin, crisp biscuits studded with roasted sesame seeds. The sesame gives them a warm, nutty aroma and a fine grainy crunch, while the biscuit itself is lightly sweet rather than sugary – the kind of everyday cookie that suits a cup of tea rather than a dessert plate. Sesame cookies are a long-standing favourite across Vietnamese and Chinese bakeries.

• Type / Loai hang: crisp sesame biscuits (banh quy me)
• Taste: nutty roasted sesame, lightly sweet
• Texture: thin and crisp with a grainy sesame crunch
• Best for: tea and coffee breaks, snack trays, gifts, everyday snacking
• Ready to eat: no preparation needed

How to enjoy / Cach dung

Serve with hot tea, black coffee or a glass of milk – the sesame aroma opens up beautifully next to a hot drink. They are a good addition to a snack tray at family gatherings and around Lunar New Year, and because they are not heavily sweetened, most people find they can eat several without feeling cloyed. They also crumble nicely over ice cream or yogurt.

Storage / Bao quan

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the pack tightly after opening or transfer the cookies to an airtight tin – thin biscuits soften quickly in humid air and lose the snap that makes them good.
