# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get that satisfying cookie crunch without the sugar crash that usually follows
- The toasted sesame adds this sophisticated nuttiness that makes people guess what the secret ingredient is
02 -
- Almond flour behaves differently than wheat flour so the dough will feel softer and more fragile than you might expect
- These cookies puff up in the oven then settle slightly as they cool which is completely normal
03 -
- Let your butter cool completely before mixing or the egg might cook slightly when you combine them
- Room temperature ingredients blend together more smoothly creating a better final texture
