Gluten Free Tahini Cookies Abisaac Saraga October 14, 2016 Gluten Free Recipes No comments Amanda loves baking, especially with the kids.  So when she came across a tahini cookie recipe in Today's Parent magazine, she jumped at the opportunity to adapt the recipe to be gluten free, because lets face it, tahini in a cookie?  Who would of thunk it, she had to try it and a great opportunity to bake with the kids. Also, I love tahini, especially as a dip.  I never thought of using it in a cookie.  So she had to try it. What is great about this cookie is that in the magazine, it talks about it as being a great nut free cookie to make for kids.  When we tried it, we found out why, it doesn't taste like a peanut butter cookie, but the tahini really does add a nutty flavour to the cookie.  Lets just say, these cookies didn't last the week! Ingredients: 1/2 cup usalted butter 1/2 cup tahini 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 1.25 cups Kinnikinnick All Purpose Gluten Free Flour 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder Optional: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and lightly sprinkle with sesame seeds before putting in the oven Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper In a large bowl cream butter, tahini and sugars together with a mixer on medium until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).   Scrape down side of bowls and add eggs and vanilla and mix on medium for another 5 minutes In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.  Add to tahini mix, mixing by hand util incorporated. Drop 1 tbsp balls onto baking sheets leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.   Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until corners are turn golden brown. Transfer to cooling rack. Older Post
