Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl beat softened butter, tahini and brown sugar until well combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla. Fold in the dry mixture until it forms a dough; chill about 20 minutes if too soft to shape.
Heat oven to 175°C conventional / 155°C fan. Line a tray with parchment and divide dough into 12 evenly spaced mounds. Flatten lightly and add sesame seeds.
Bake about 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centres remain slightly soft. Cool on tray for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
Contains wheat, milk, egg and sesame. Do not eat raw flour or raw cookie dough.
