Tahini & sesame cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Did you ever tried tahini? It is a sesame paste, native to the Middle East, very typical of Arabic food, and known to be one of the ingredients of hummus. Tahini today became very popular, to the point that it is in recipes of all kinds, yes, even in cookies like these.

At first, if you try the tahini alone, it may seem strange, it has a very strong flavor, but it combines very well with sweet things, one of my favorite things to put over breakfast is tahini mixed with honey, very simple and very rich .

These cookies have an intense flavor of toasted sesame and tahini, are gluten-free, and free of refined flours, sugars or oils, being an ideal choice for a healthy snack or breakfast, are full of nutrients and good fats, and have a pwerfwct texture.

The ingredients are simple, easy to get, buckwheat flour (although if you do not want a gluten-free recipe you can replace it with whole wheat flour or wholemeal spelt flour) coconut oil, to get that soft texture inside but crispy outside, coconut or muscovado sugar, eggs or egg replacements (see the notes to see which egg substitute is the one I use when making a vegan recipe) tahini, in large amounts, because it is never enough, and to decorate, a mix of black and white sesame seeds, for that nice effect, which also provides a crispy touch and a rich flavor of toasted seeds.

Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret! If the tests tell me, send me an email or comment in the blog post how it came out, if you liked it, or that you would change it, I would love to listen to the advice of those who try my recipes! And if you share a photo on your Instagram or stories tag me like @gaspic_healthyberry so I can see it and I’ll share you in my stories!

Do not forget to share the recipe in your networks and with your loved ones, they will appreciate it as much as I do!
