If you like tahini, you will love these Tahini cookies! Tahini + Ginger bread spices and Candied ginger make this a crinkly and delicious cookie. These cookies are soft when just baked and get more like a shortbread-y crumbly cookie as they cool. A bit crunchier than shortbread s they sit for longer. If you like softer cookies, bake a minute less and consume within the day. Store in a box for upto 3 days.

For a molasses ginger cookies, use 1 tbsp molasses + 1 tbsp oil instead of the 2 tbsp. Add other spices or chocolate chips for variation.  Make these simple 1 Bowl Tahini Cookies and dress in sugar, sprinkles, candied ginger, or drizzle some simple icing. Easily made glutenfree. See Recipe notes.

Notes

You can possibly make these with just tahini. Add more tahini instead of oil. The flavor of tahini will be quite strong then. To make these gluten-free: Mix of equal amounts (1/4 cup) of oat flour, almond flour, rice flour and 2 tbsp cornstarch or other starch. Add all of the flour and mix in. Let it chill for 5 mins. If the mixture is wet, add 1 -2 tbsp more oat flour and mix in. Nutritional values based on one serving
