Crunchy Tahini and Honey Cookies perfect for school lunch boxes or after school snacks. My kids said these were the best cookies I have ever made!
Tahini & Honey Cookies
These cookies are made with tahini instead of peanut butter, making them a great snack to put in school lunchboxes. I actually used black tahini in these as I had been given a jar, but regular works just as well. Tahini is made by grinding sesame seeds into a smooth paste. Sesame seeds come in a variety of colours; white, yellow, black and red, they are rich in B vitamins, iron, magnesium, calcium and zinc. Tahini makes a really great peanut butter replacement, especially in baking.
These cookies are made all in one bowl, so easy and less washing up! You can leave plain or decorate the top with sesame seeds and pepitas if you like. I thought my kids would avoid the ones with pepitas but they still loved them.
