    • Vegan Date Tahini Cookies

    My favorite part about these cookies, besides being gluten-free, vegan, grain-free, and butter-free, is they are also sugar-free! That's right, not even maple syrup or honey is added to these cookies. They are perfectly sweet from the Medjool dates.

    Vegan date tahini cookies pair perfectly with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, a mug of maple-tahini latte, or a simple cup of tea.

    How to make this recipe

    1. The first step to making vegan date tahini cookies is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
    2. Next, soak the pitted Medjool dates in hot water for about five minutes. This step can be skipped if you use very plump and juicy dates. Once the dates have soaked, drain the water and press the dates with your hands, removing as much water as possible. Place the dates in a food processor and process for about one minute until slightly smooth.
    3. Add the tahini, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt to the dates. Process the cookie mixture until it is smooth and there are no clumps. The dough may be slightly grainy or clumpy, but don't worry, it will bake together in the oven.
    4. Next, using a cookie scoop, scoop some of the cookie dough out and roll it into a ball. Roll the cookie dough ball in the sesame seeds, then place it on the cookie tray. Gently press down, forming a small disc. Continue with the remaining cookie dough.
    5. Bake the cookies in the oven for about 20 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the sides. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before enjoying!
