Fast and Easy Israeli Tahini Cookies image

A quick and simple Middle Eastern/Mediterranean hit. I've seen both little Jewish grandmothers in Jerusalem make these cookies and Bedouin women living in the middle of the desert. A great simple recipe that isn't too sweet, is very versatile and fast. Enjoy.

3 cups all-purpose flour

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
