On low speed, add vanilla, sesame oil and tahini and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients, on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a rubber spatula, transfer the dough to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper.
Place mixture of sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Using a 1 tablespoon measure or ice cream scooper, scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
Roll ball in sesame seeds and place on prepared sheet pan, approximately 2 inches apart.
Repeat scooping and rolling balls in sesame seeds until all the dough is used. You should have approximately 30 balls. Place unbaked balls on a stiff plate until ready to bake.
