Easy Tahini Cookies (Vegan + GF)

• servings: 20 servings
• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup tahini, unsalted and smooth

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 ¼ cup almond flour

3/4 cup tapioca starch ((also called tapioca flour))

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup raw sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini and maple syrup and use a whisk to thoroughly combine. Next add the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt to the tahini mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix well.

Place the sesame seeds into a small bowl and set it nearby. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop the dough, then roll them into near perfect balls before gently rolling each ball in the sesame seeds and placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently press down on the balls to flatten slightly. Recipe as written should make ~20 cookies and they won’t spread much, so they should all fit on a standard size baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy at room temperature for best texture.
