Healthy Tahini Cookies
Description
Healthy Tahini Cookies blend almond flour with baking soda and salt as a base. The wet ingredients include tahini, honey, pure vanilla extract, and an egg, mixed to a batter-like consistency. The dough is then portioned into balls, rolled in a mixture of white and black sesame seeds for a crunchy coating, and flattened before baking.
Baked at 355 F for about 8 minutes, they develop a golden hue and slightly crisp outside while retaining a moist interior. The tahini adds depth and a subtle toasted sesame flavor complemented by the crunchy seed coating. These cookies store well for up to 10 days in airtight containers.
A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the honey and tahini. The recipe uses natural sweeteners and almond flour for a nutrient-rich cookie alternative.
