The Recipe
Buttery Tahini Cookies
Ingredients
◆
400g plain flour
◆
10g baking powder
◆
200g caster sugar
◆
200g unsalted butter, softened
To Decorate
◆
Whole almonds
◆
Melted chocolate, optional
◆
Other toppings of your choice, optional
Method
1
Preheat. Heat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with baking parchment.
2
Make the dough. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, softened butter and Natural Tahini to a large bowl. Mix by hand, then knead gently just until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
3
Shape. Divide the dough into approximately 40 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, arrange on the lined trays with a few centimetres between them, and press a whole almond gently into the centre of each cookie.
4
Bake. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cookies are pale golden at the edges. Avoid overbaking, as they will firm up as they cool.
5
Cool. Leave the cookies on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Decorate. Drizzle with melted chocolate or add other toppings if desired. Once fully cool, store in an airtight container.
🌿 Med Cuisine Tip: Stop mixing as soon as the dough comes together. Overworking it develops the flour and makes the cookies tougher; a gentle mix keeps their delicate, melt-in-the-mouth crumb.
