Yes, you can substitute butter with similar amounts of margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option, though the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
Store the sesame biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
You can substitute almonds with other nuts like walnuts or pecans, or omit them entirely if there are nut allergies.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start, as this will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- When mixing the sesame oil and egg into the butter-sugar mixture, make sure to blend them well for an even texture.

- Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to drop equal amounts of batter onto the baking sheet for uniform biscuits.
