Easter is around the corner and of course, all the sweets and desserts will be spread around the Easter table. One thing is for sure, this year you can not miss these Tahini Cookies with Chocolate Eggs.
These tahini cookies are pretty tasty. They are soft inside and therefore perfect to go with tea or coffee. How about a 5 o’clock tea this Easter?
Healthy, but with a touch of sweetness, since they contain chocolate eggs. But a pinch of color is what you want at Easter, so the famous chocolate eggs are a must. It’s Easter after all!
These amazing cookies are for kids and adults, as they are made with good ingredients and are quite tasty. To be honest, these cookies are so decadent that you‘ll want to eat more and more.
Do you want them healthier? No problem, I got you covered! Skip the chocolate eggs because, in all honesty, these tahini cookies are delicious all by themselves! The perfect snack when you‘re in for a treat.
For this recipe, I used tahini as the main source of fat, therefore you won’t find any olive oil, butter, or coconut oil in this recipe (or other such oils).
Since tahini is made of toasted sesame seeds, it has enough fat to combine all the ingredients together and make these cookies taste amazing.
A sprinkle of granulated stevia helps sweeten it up, without being hyper-caloric or unhealthy. You can always change it for the sweetener of your choice, just make sure you‘re using a granulated sweetener.
The next step is to put those batches in the oven and get ready to share these cookies with your loved ones. They will for sure be a success!
How do you make these Tahini Cookies?
Nothing like adding all the ingredients in a large bowl and mixing well until you get a very viscous, sticky dough.
Then, with the help of an ice cream scoop (or 2 tablespoons) just make small dough balls, spread them on parchment paper on a baking tray, and bake them in the oven. Easy, peasy, and super delicious!
Oh, and of course, break the easter eggs into smaller pieces, so that the cookies have an even better texture and are easier to eat.
When taking the cookies out of the oven, they’ll still be very soft. Worry not, it’s normal! They need to cool down in order to get the right consistency: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
If you want your cookies to have a perfectly round shape, take a cookie cutter and roll around the edges of the cookies while still hot. This process will help the cookies to get the right round shape.
