These tahini cookies are my new favorite! They are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, slightly caramel tasting and perfectly chewy for making ice cream sandwiches with.

What is tahini you ask? Well, tahini is ground sesame butter or paste that’s traditionally used in Middle Eastern cuisine.

It’s nut free, so it’s a great alternative for those recipes that call for different nut butters. It’s also becoming pretty  popular for bakers too. Like in cookies, cakes and quick breads...Oh, we can’t forget stir fry and salad dressings!

As far as nutrition goes, tahini is a great source of healthy fat as well as vitamin B. Yup, I’m that girl. Sneak in ALL the healthy stuff into a cookie recipe!

Bottom line, these cookies are simple to make and delicious. Either eat them by themselves or stuffed with a little dairy free ice cream!

Many Hugs,
