Notes
Spice Blends: Chai spice or pumpkin pie spice or gingerbread spice
Tips: Bake 1-2 cookies to test so that you can adjust the sweetness and flavor. Tahini is an acquired flavor and if the cookie flavor is too strong, add in 1/4 cup almond flour, mix in and chill and bake.
Variation: Press chocolate chunks, dried fruit, candied ginger, candied orange peel on the scoops before baking. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top for extra crunch and sweet
Use half smooth nut butter of choice and half tahini for less bitter flavor profile.
