Description

Soft, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth Tahini Cookies made with coconut and almond flour for a naturally gluten-free treat. These cookies are perfectly sweetened with coconut sugar and finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an irresistible twist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup coconut sugar
  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 5 tsp milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • Sesame seeds for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the coconut sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add tahini, vanilla, sea salt, milk, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in coconut flour and almond flour until a dough forms.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Gently press down on each cookie and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter or coconut oil.
  • Cookies will firm up more as they cool—don’t overbake.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Use roasted tahini for a deeper flavor.
