Sesame Tahini Cookies

Sesame Tahini Cookies are chewy delicious gluten-free cookies with a Middle Eastern flavor. Instead of butter, tahini paste is used to add a rich nutty taste. Recipe is adapted from Feel Good Foodie.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup sesame seeds

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• Pinch sea salt

• ⅓ cup maple syrup

• ⅓ cup tahini

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the sesame seeds in a pie plate.

In a small bowl, whisk the almond flour with the baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, mix the maple syrup with the tahini and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

Using a spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls. Roll the balls in the sesame seeds, then flatten them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer the rounds to the baking sheets, arranging them so they’re about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes, until the bottoms are golden; shift the pans from top to bottom halfway through. Transfer the cookies to a rack and let cool before serving. Enjoy!
