Notes

  • Spice Blends: Chai spice or pumpkin pie spice or gingerbread spice
  • Tips: Bake 1-2 cookies to test so that you can adjust the sweetness and flavor. Tahini is an acquired flavor and if the cookie flavor is too strong, add in 1/4 cup almond flour, mix in and chill and bake. 
  • Variation: Press chocolate chunks, dried fruit, candied ginger, candied orange peel on the scoops before baking. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top for extra crunch and sweet
  • Use half smooth nut butter of choice and half tahini for less bitter flavor profile. 
  • Nutrition is for 1 cookie
