Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, tapioca flour and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the tahini, maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine the almond flour mixture with the tahini mixture, mix to form a dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Place the sesame seeds into a flat based bowl.
  • Scoop out 1-2 tbsp of dough, shape with your hands into a ball.
  • Place the dough ball into the sesame seeds and press to flatten to approximate ¼ inch thick.
  • Place the flattened cookie onto the prepared baking tray and repeat with remaining dough. Dough makes approximately 16 cookies.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden in color.
  • Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
