Best Nutty Peanut Butter Tahini Sesame Seed Soft Cookies Recipes

TAHINI COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and honey in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in tahini, then add dry ingredients in 2 batches, beating after each addition until fully combined. Dough will be slightly sticky.
• Place sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough (about 1 oz.) and roll into balls. Dip tops of balls in sesame seeds, pressing to adhere, and place, sesame side up, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 13-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool).

NUTTY PEANUT BUTTER & TAHINI (SESAME SEED) SOFT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/175C & grease an oven tray.
• In a large bowl mix sugars together.
• Add remaining ingredients. NOTE: Do not pour tahini straight from container. Scoop from bottom as mixture separates & you don't want just the oil! If you buy a particularly runny tahini, use 1/4 cup tahini, 3/4 cup peanut butter.
• Mix ingredients til well combined. If mixture is too sticky/runny add some flour/gluten-free flour to the mix.
• Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture onto the greased baking tray. TIP: they will spread out while baking so don't crowd tray. You may need to do two batches.
• With a fork, make a slight indent to flatten cookies.
• Bake for 8 minutes for soft cookies, >10 (til browned) for crisper cookies.
• Let cool for 10-15 before touching otherwise they will crumble.

EASY TAHINI COOKIES (VEGAN + GF)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini and maple syrup and use a whisk to thoroughly combine. Next add the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt to the tahini mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix well.
• Place the sesame seeds into a small bowl and set it nearby. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop the dough, then roll them into near perfect balls before gently rolling each ball in the sesame seeds and placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently press down on the balls to flatten slightly. Recipe as written should make ~20 cookies and they won't spread much, so they should all fit on a standard size baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!
• Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy at room temperature for best texture.
