By á-170456

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
• Safflower oil as needed

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, place the maple syrup and tahini, and stir until creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.

Using a little safflower oil, lightly oil (or spray with a light mist of oil) two non-stick cookie sheets. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Using the back of a spoon, slightly flatten each cookie.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to a rack to cool. When completely cool, transfer to an airtight container for storage.

This recipe yields 2 dozen.
