Tahini Cookies
I shared a while ago now Peanut Butter Cookies, which my kids love however as they both go to nut free schools they can’t take them to school. So, as a substitute I started making them as a lunchbox treat with tahini instead of peanut butter.
They are super quick, easy, tasty and made with just 4 ingredients.
This is one of those recipes you can make for unexpected or last minute guests or even when they turn up. They are surprisingly light, crumbly and creamy.⠀
I personally prefer my tahini version over the peanut butter cookies too, but I do have a soft spot for tahini.

I like to use a size 70 ice cream scooper to form these biscuits. With this size scooper the recipe makes 34 biscuits.
