Instructions
- Stir tahini and pekmez together in a medium bowl.
- Add the almond flour and mahlab (optional) and mix with until smooth. You don't need to worry about over-mixing for this recipe.
- Form into 12 balls and flatten each one into 1/2-inch thick cookies onto a lined baking sheet.
- Optional step: press in any toppings you'd like.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 325 °F (160 °C) on the middle rack of the oven.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- I prefer to use dut pekmez (mulberry molasses) in this recipe, but it works very nicely with other pekmez varieties such as grape or carob. Agave syrup is a decent substitute if you don't have pekmez. Maple syrup can also be used, but it'll add a totally different flavour to the cookies.
