Ingredients

Sesame Seed Coating:
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoon organic cane sugar
Wet ingredients:
  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, virgin or refined, melted (virgin will lend coconut aroma and flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (from 1 orange)
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon orange extract, optional
  • 2 to 3 tablespoon non-dairy milk
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Dry ingredients:
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (160g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and line two cookie sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
  2. Mix the sesame seeds and 2 teaspoon sugar in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
  3. Put the tahini and coconut oil in a large bowl. Microwave for a few seconds to melt the oil. Whisk to combine the two. Add the zest, juice, extract, 2 tablespoons of milk, ½ cup sugar, and salt, and whisk to combine.
  4. Sift the flour and baking soda into the bowl and stir until a dough forms. If the mixture is too crumbly, add another tablespoon of milk and stir to incorporate.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into your hand. Using your palms roll the dough into a ball, and and then flatten it into a cookie shape. Dip both the tops and bottoms of the cookies in the sesame seed-sugar mixture and place on the prepared pans.
  6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the pans for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks. 

Notes

  • Once cool, store cookies in an airtight container up to 4 days (either refrigerated or at room temperature). Cookies also freeze well; allow an hour or two to thaw before serving.
