  4. 4.Divide flour mixture into two bowls, and add cacao powder to one bowl, whisking to combine.
  5. 5.Divide tahini mixture between bowls, adding almond milk a tsp at a time (I usually add 2 tsp to the light mixture, and 4 tsp to the cacao mixture) and mix by hand until mixture becomes doughy, sticks together, and can easily be rolled into a ball without breaking.
  6. 6.Prepare two plates for dough rolling, with white sesame seeds in one plate, and black sesame seeds in another.
  7. 7.Divide light dough mixture into 6 even pieces, roll each piece into a ball and, one by one, roll each piece in the plate with black sesame seeds.
  8. 8.Repeat steps with cacao dough, placing each piece onto the plate with white seame seeds.
  9. 9.Place dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing it at least 3cm apart. Press each ball down with the bottom of a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup to form a round disc about 3 to 5mm thick.
