We love adding new variations of different cookies on our menus. Our Sesame Tahini cookie is our newest addition!
This unique treat's main ingredient is tahini, also known as sesame seed paste. It creates an unexpected creamy texture and is balanced so nicely between its nuttiness and the light sweetness of honey. I'd compare them to peanut butter cookie but with a more savory touch.
Even if you've never made a cookie quite like this one, you'll be surprised by how simple and delicious they are! Full recipe below.
Eat Well.
