Sesame Tahini Cookies (Grain-Free)

My favorite cookies contain just a handful of ingredients. When you want a little sweet fix, you can whip up these Sesame Tahini Cookies in minutes, and they’re even easy enough for the kids to bake by themselves!

These cookies feature tahini, which is usually only used in savory dishes, but which lends wonderful flavor. I adapted them from a book called, Flourless, that I found at Anthropologie. I absolutely love this cookbook! It’s full of flourless baking recipes, so if you need to follow a gluten-free or grain-free diet, it’ll make a wonderful addition to your cookbook library.

Ingredients

1 cup sesame tahini
1/4 cup raw honey
1 large egg
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position. Line two baking sheets with {unbleached parchment paper|http://amzn.to/1SZwsNP].
Combine the tahini, honey, egg and sugar in a large bowl and beat well to combine. Place the sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Using a small cookie scoop (I used a 1-inch scoop), scoop a walnut-size portion of dough and place it into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Carefully roll the dough ball around is it is covered with seeds (the dough will be very soft). Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake about 10-12 minutes until lightly brown on the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
