The Tahini cookies from Spoonsparrow are quick to make and taste great beyond the holiday season.

Ingredients

  • 150 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 50 g walnut kernels
  • 50 g almond kernels
  • 40 g pistachio kernels
  • 25 g sesame seeds
  • 150 g tahini (sesame paste)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 120 g raw cane sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 150 g spelt flour type 630
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Coarsely chop chocolate, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios and mix. Set aside about 60 g of the mixture for topping, then combine with sesame seeds.

  2. 2.

    Whisk tahini, coconut oil, sugar, and eggs in a bowl until frothy. Combine flour with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; knead this dry mix into the tahini mixture along with the nut-chocolate blend. Cover dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Shape dough into 25 balls, flatten slightly, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the reserved nut-chocolate-sesame topping over the cookies. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan; gas: level 3) for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown.
