Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
3. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and a soft dough forms.
4. Take tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
5. Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on the top. This also helps the cookies to spread slightly while baking.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
8. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.
9. Enjoy these vegan tahini shortbread cookies with a cup of tea or as a sweet treat on their own.
