Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer or hand held mixer
  • 1 Mini-scooper
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking tray
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • cups almond flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • cup (80 mL) honey
  • cup (80 mL) tahini
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) water if needed
  • ½ cup (70 grams) sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • In a medium size bowl whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
    1½ cups almond flour, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp salt

    ⅓ cup (80 mL) honey, ⅓ cup (80 mL) tahini
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix well to combine. Add up to 2 tablespoons of water if you find that the batter is crumbly. Your dough should be moist enough to shape into balls.
    2 tbsp (30 mL) water
  • Place your sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Using a mini-scooper or a tablespoon, make balls of dough and roll them in the sesame seeds to coat them all around.
    ½ cup (70 grams) sesame seeds
  • Transfer the cookie dough to a parchment lined baking sheet and use a glass to press down to turn the balls into discs approximately ¼ inch thick.
  • Bake in the middle rack of your oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow your cookies to cool on the cookie tray for 3 - 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!
