Obsessed with Cookies

Alright readers, here's a little secret: I have a problem. A cookie problem that is. I love cookies - especially with my afternoon tea. So instead of depriving myself of my true love, I have been making healthy versions of my sweet friends and so far have loved them all! 

I just discovered this recipe for Sesame Cookies and wow, they are great! If you have the same love for cookies as I do, or are entertaining over the holidays - these are a quick, easy dessert to serve with tea and/or coffee (in addition to all the other desserts that are sure to be there!) They are light and tasty and are refined sugar and gluten free!

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups blanched almond flour 
  
• ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt 
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅓ cup agave nectar or honey
  
• ⅓ cup tahini (raw or roasted)
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup sesame seeds (hulled or unhulled)

1. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda
2. In a smaller bowl, blend together agave, tahini, oil and vanilla
3. Blend the dry ingredients into the wet
4. Form the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the sesame seeds
5. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and flatten
6. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes until lightly brown
7. Cool on baking sheet
8. Serve

Makes 14 cookies

 

Hope you try this recipe over the holidays with a warm cup of tea and say yyyuummmm!!!

Happy Holidays!
