Ingredients

* ½  cup runny tahini

* ½ cup ground almond

* ⅓ cup desiccated coconut

* ½ cup sweetener

*1 tsp baking powder

*1 tsp vanilla extract

* 2 eggs

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line baking pan with baking paper.

2. Beat the eggs slightly with a mixer.

3. Combine all ingredients until smooth.

4. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, (or form balls with your hands, it’s a bit sticky dough) gently press down the dough balls to flatten.

5. Bake the cookies, on the middle rack of the oven for about 15 minutes, until they're light golden brown. They'll continue to bake as they cool on the pan.

Enjoy! 😊 😊

Notes

*To Store: keep these cookies in the fridge covered for up to 3 days.

*To Freeze: you can freeze the uncooked cookies. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze them for an hour until they’re frozen solid. Transfer the balls to a box or bag and freeze for 6 months. There’s no need to thaw them, just bake them from frozen, increasing the baking time.

To Freeze the cooked cookies: let the cookies cool then freeze them in airtight box/bag for up to 3 months.
