Description

Soft, chewy sesame tahini cookies made with almond flour, tahini, and honey. Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Spread sesame seeds in a shallow dish or pie plate.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together tahini, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls, roll in sesame seeds, and flatten into discs.
  7. Arrange on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
  9. Cool on the tray for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use runny tahini for easy mixing and moist texture.
  • Toasting sesame seeds enhances flavor, but it’s optional.
  • Cookies don’t spread much flatten gently before baking.
  • Cookies become chewier after storing in the fridge.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
