Ingredients
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup tahini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix the honey, tahini, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Using a cookie scoop, form the dough into balls. Roll each ball in sesame seeds, then flatten into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 8 minutes, until the bottoms are golden, rotating pans halfway through.
Transfer cookies to a rack and allow to cool before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
For extra flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds before coating.
If dough is too sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes before shaping.
