Fast And Easy Israeli Tahini Cookies Recipes

TAHINI SHORTBREAD COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, combine until light and fluffy.
• Now add the tahini and continue mixing on medium speed until well-incorporated.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Transfer the dry ingredients to the tahini mixture, and mix until well-incorporated into a dough.
• Take the tahini cookie dough out of the bowl and make it into a log (about 2 inches in diameter). Place the log on the short end of a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll the wrap twisting the ends in opposite direction so that the dough log is tightly wrapped. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the dough into 1/3 to 1/2 inch rounds, and arrange on a very large baking sheet (or two baking sheets) lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in the 350 degrees heated oven for 15 minutes or so until the cookies are light brown around the edges and set.
• Remove from the heat and leave the cookies in the baking sheets to cool briefly (about 10 minutes). Then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool. Dust with powdered sugar, if you like.

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.
