As I’ve spent most of this past week in a dentist’s chair, cookies are the last thing on my mind. In fact, in the wake of this slightly traumatic experience, I have vowed to myself never to eat sugar ever again!! I wonder how long will this resolution last exactly…
Meanwhile, this recipe is something I baked for you before I left for Krakow and I hope you’ll enjoy these. They are simple chocolate chip vegan cookies which use tahini as the only source of fat. I figured that some of you may be keen on this swap as tahini is certainly more nutrient dense than the traditionally used oil or margarine. I’ve also trialled them with almond butter and they were equally delicious, so in conclusion any nut butter should work well here. I flavoured these simple cookies with orange and cardamom as I think they both work beautifully well with nutty tahini and dark chocolate, but if you are not keen on this pairing, simply skip those ingredients.
