Honey Tahini Cookies

I have made these many times and shared the recipe with friends - it is a real winner!! I personally prefer them on the less cooked, more chewy side: if you like them chewy, don't me scared that they seem soft when they come out of the oven, they will firm up and be deliciously chewy! Love them!!

This is probably my favorite cookie recipe of all time (and my family's)! It's super healthy and delicious at the same time -- you can't tell that they're vegan and gluten-free. I like to flatten them with a fork to give them a cute, uniform look. My family also likes to double the baking time to achieve a crispy cookie, but the original 8 minutes is perfect if you like a soft cookie.

My absolute favorite cookies. I can't believe something so delicious is so simple to make!

These may be the best thing I have ever baked or eaten. They are chewy and have that sort of salty sweet thing going for them. Takes minutes to make. I am in love. Of note, the dough is best if hand combined, not mixed in a mixer. I was rushing once and set them in the mixer and the dough "split" and they were terrible. They need a quick stir to combine and that results in the most amazing texture!

OK. Been meaning to make these for months and I finally did. OMG. My all time favorite cookie in the world.So easy. So simple. So quick. So breathtakingly delicious - flavor and texture. The cookie is basically ALL NUT (sesame and almond) with a bit of sugar and vanilla. I believe these are even kosher for Passover. And gluten free. And high protein and low carb. Not that any of that matters. Just the best cookie in the world bar none. I keep a stash in freezer - they defrost quickly. I’ve also made tahini cookies with all purpose flour (WSJ recipe) and those are quite good too but this recipe (with almond flour) is a whole ‘nother level.

ah i see the recipe says to flatten into 1/4 inch rounds. I missed that! next time...

Would these work without the sesame seeds? I know they add fun flavor and texture, but would they bake alright without them?

Sooooo, good. I used potato starch instead of almond flour and added a half stick of butter. Definitely did not make healthier, but they are soooooo good. Good by themselves or with a cheese plate.

These cookies are a little too chewy, I'm not sure why the recipe says they are crispy and chewy because there is absolutely no crisp and I baked them for about 10 minutes instead of 8, at 8 min they still looked raw.

THESE are fantastic! Everyone is loving them. Didn’t take anywhere near as long as stated.

Looks like my favorite cookie from elenas pantry: https://elanaspantry.com/sesame-cookies/

Tasty cookie- nice to have a delicious GF cookie recipe that has great flavor. My picky family loves them and we are not GF, but some friends and extended family are so this is nice. Followed the recipe exactly- used quality ingredients!

Great recipe. I subbed whole wheat pastry four for the almond meal and maple syrup for honey and they came out delicious!
