NUTTY PEANUT BUTTER & TAHINI (SESAME SEED) SOFT COOKIES
A warm, deep taste that really envelops the mouth, with two different levels of nutty flavour. A heavenly experience! I suggest using quality -crunchy- peanut butter (where the ingredients = 100% roasted peanuts ONLY). One bowl recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C & grease an oven tray.
- In a large bowl mix sugars together.
- Add remaining ingredients. NOTE: Do not pour tahini straight from container. Scoop from bottom as mixture separates & you don't want just the oil! If you buy a particularly runny tahini, use 1/4 cup tahini, 3/4 cup peanut butter.
- Mix ingredients til well combined. If mixture is too sticky/runny add some flour/gluten-free flour to the mix.
- Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture onto the greased baking tray. TIP: they will spread out while baking so don't crowd tray. You may need to do two batches.
- With a fork, make a slight indent to flatten cookies.
- Bake for 8 minutes for soft cookies, >10 (til browned) for crisper cookies.
- Let cool for 10-15 before touching otherwise they will crumble.

Amazing oatmeal, chocolate chip, no-butter tahini cookies. I prefer them baked but you can serve these unbaked as well.

This cookie recipe is from Israel. Tahini can be found in most grocery stores or health food stores. If you still have trouble finding it, it's sure to be found in a Middle Eastern grocery store. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality tahini: The quality of the tahini will greatly impact the taste of the cookies. Look for a brand that is made with 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. If you are short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you serve them too soon, they may be too soft and fall apart.
Conclusion:
Tahini butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them soft and chewy or crispy and crunchy, these cookies are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a tasty snack or dessert, give these tahini butter cookies a try.
