Amanda loves baking, especially with the kids. So when she came across a tahini cookie recipe in Today's Parent magazine, she jumped at the opportunity to adapt the recipe to be gluten free, because lets face it, tahini in a cookie? Who would of thunk it, she had to try it and a great opportunity to bake with the kids. Also, I love tahini, especially as a dip. I never thought of using it in a cookie. So she had to try it.
What is great about this cookie is that in the magazine, it talks about it as being a great nut free cookie to make for kids. When we tried it, we found out why, it doesn't taste like a peanut butter cookie, but the tahini really does add a nutty flavour to the cookie. Lets just say, these cookies didn't last the week!
