Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mix the tahini, honey, baking soda and salt until combined.
- Add in the all purpose flour and ground walnuts. Stir using a spoon or a spatula until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Roll the cookie balls in sesame seeds until they are well coated on all sides. Transfer the cookie balls to the baking sheet and leave about 2 inches between them.
- Using a glass with a round bottom, gently press on the cookies to flatten them so they are about 1/4 inch thick. Keep in mind that the cookies won't spread much while baking.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, they will be brown around the edges ever so slightly.
- Let the tahini cookies cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure you're using quality tahini and honey since these two ingredients give all the flavor to the cookies.
- If making these cookies gluten free, use almond flour or 1:1 gluten-free flour.
- For vegan tahini cookies use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for 10 days.
