Paleo Sesame Cookies

By ROBandSEAN

These paleo cookies are made with almond flour and are sweetened with agave nectar or honey, flavored with tahini, and rolled in sesame seeds for crunch.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup agave nectar or honey
• 1/3 cup tahini (raw or roasted, though roasted will give more flavor)
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or palm shortening
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds (hulled or unhulled -I used hulled)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda.
In a smaller bowl, blend together agave, tahini, oil and vanilla.

Blend the dry ingredients into the wet. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the sesame seeds.

Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and flatten.
Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly brown. Cool on baking sheet.

Serve.

If you like your cookies crunchy, leave them out after baking. If you are looking for cookies with a chewier center then store them in an airtight container.
