Honey Tahini Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup tahini
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make It

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the sesame seeds in a pie plate.

Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the almond flour with the baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, mix the honey with the tahini and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

Step 3
Using a 1 1/2-inch scoop, scoop the dough into balls. Roll the balls in the sesame seeds, then flatten them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer the rounds to the baking sheets, arranging them so they’re about 2 inches apart.

Step 4
Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes, until the bottoms are golden; shift the pans from top to bottom halfway through. Transfer the cookies to a rack and let cool before serving.

Make Ahead
The cookies can be stored in an airtight container overnight.
