Honey Tahini Toasted Sesame Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp fine salt

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup tahini

1 egg yolk

2 TB granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the sesame seeds onto a sheet tray and toast for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking once halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool, then transfer to a shallow plate. Reduce oven temp to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix honey, tahini, egg yolk, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a soft dough forms.

Scoop using a 1 oz scoop. Roll into balls, coat in the toasted sesame seeds, then gently flatten to about 1/2 inch thick.

Place on parchment-lined trays about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 350°F for about 12 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and the centers are set.

Let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
