Oh my. These 4 ingredient peanut butter and tahini cookies are rich, slightly gooey from the inside, and addictive, oh so addictive. This recipe is foolproof and great for those who are not accustomed to baking. And I know that some may see such few ingredients with suspicion (myself included), but peanut butter and tahini add a lot of of flexibility here and work really, really well together. If you’re like me and adore eating peanut butter straight from the jar, you will love these cookies. Their simplicity really lets you appreciate the nuttiness of the ingredients. The tahini plays the role of a flavor enhancer and pairs with the peanut butter divinely. Top off with sea salt flakes for the ultimate indulgence.
1. Preheat oven to 180 C/ 350 F and line 1 large or 2 medium baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Use a cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons to shape the dough into balls. Place onto the baking sheet about 2 in. apart and slightly press each ball using a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake for about 12 minutes. The cookies will be quite soft right after they come out of the oven, but don’t worry. Let them cool for at at least 10 minutes to set and they will firm up. Top with sea salt flakes and enjoy!
Do you top with salt before they cool down? Thanks for sharing!
Made these tonight and the family loved them. Shared them with my folks and they loved them too!
“) Planning on trying them next week – a kind of New Years gift for one of the clinics I work at. They’re all very health conscious, so a flourless recipe with ingredients focused on nut butters goes over well! I’ll let you know how I do with it 😉 And Happy New Year in advance!
“) I finally just made these – amazing! Will love to make as gifts for people. Appreciate grain-free recipes that taste great “) Can hardly wait to feed them to people!
Hi Hanady 🙂 So enjoy baking these nut butter cookies; just made some for my family yesterday! I’ve used almond butter before, but I’m interested in using walnut butter (my favorite nut) and wondering if you’ve any cookie recipes for this that are grain-free or at least gf? Haven’t seen much of interest searching on the net. Thoughts? Thank you for your great site!
