Toasty Tahini Cookies
Did you know that a quick batch of cookies makes a day a tiny bit better? I had a little bit of tahini in the pantry so figured I’d turn it into these yummy little tahini cookies
Ingredients
- 2 c All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) Butter, at room temp
- 3/4 c Sugar
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 3/4 c Tahini
- 1/4 c Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk flour, baking powder, + salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed (or whisk enthusiastically by hand), beat butter, sugar, + honey in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 mins. Beat in tahini, then add dry ingredients in 3 batches, beating after each addition until fully combined. Dough will be slightly sticky.
- Place sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough (about 1 oz.) and roll into balls. Dip tops of balls in sesame seeds, pressing to adhere, and place, sesame side up, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 13–15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool). Eat on their own, or with ice cream.
