Sesame Tahini Cookies

Peanut butter cookie’s cousin is in town, these sesame tahini cookies are to die for! Gluten free.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sesame seeds (roasted at 350F for a few minutes until golden and fragrant- be careful, they burn quick)

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or gluten free oat flour)

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/3 cup honey

• 1/3 cup tahini

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread sesame seeds onto a plate.

2. In a bowl, whisk the almond flour (or oat flour) with the baking soda. Mix in the honey, tahini, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.

3. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls. Then roll the cookie dough balls into the sesame seeds. Place on baking sheet and flatted the cookies to 1/4 inch rounds. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

4. Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes until the bottoms are golden.

5. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool before serving.

Notes:

• Feel free to experiment with add-ins, such as mini chocolate chips!

• Make them into sandwich cookies by squeezing two cookies between a layer of melted chocolate or chocolate cream, or even strawberry jam.
