Vegan Sesame Tahini Cookies Gluten Free Recipes

VEGAN SESAME TAHINI COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, add all ingredients except sesame seeds. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and roll cookie dough into balls. Drop each ball into the bowl of sesame seeds. Roll and press until all dough balls are fully coated in seeds.
• Place cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet, spaced evenly apart, with enough room to spread quite a bit-these cookies will bake up big. Using the palm of your hand or a spoon, gently flatten cookies to desired thickness. If desired, press together any large cracks that form around the edges of cookies-some cracks are natural & pretty!
• Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Place cookie sheet on a cooling rack, and allow cookies to cool directly on the sheet for 15-20 minutes-do not remove from sheet for at least 15 minutes, as cookies are fragile. Then, using a spatula, gently transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing notes below.

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.
