TAHINI SHORTBREAD COOKIE RECIPE
My family's favorite tahini cookies! Nutty, slightly sweet, and perfectly satisfying with the perfect crumbly texture. These shortbread cookies are made with a bit less butter than normal but don't lack any buttery goodness or tenderness, thanks to rich organic tahini paste! These cookies take just 5 ingredients, a couple bowls, and a hand mixer. So simple! But be sure to read the tips and step-by-step guide above.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, combine until light and fluffy.
- Now add the tahini and continue mixing on medium speed until well-incorporated.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Transfer the dry ingredients to the tahini mixture, and mix until well-incorporated into a dough.
- Take the tahini cookie dough out of the bowl and make it into a log (about 2 inches in diameter). Place the log on the short end of a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll the wrap twisting the ends in opposite direction so that the dough log is tightly wrapped. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the dough into 1/3 to 1/2 inch rounds, and arrange on a very large baking sheet (or two baking sheets) lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the 350 degrees heated oven for 15 minutes or so until the cookies are light brown around the edges and set.
- Remove from the heat and leave the cookies in the baking sheets to cool briefly (about 10 minutes). Then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool. Dust with powdered sugar, if you like.

THAT FABULOUS TAHINI COOKIE!
I have been mad about these cookies made at my local Earthfare store for three years, and this week I was finally able to weasel the recipe out of their baker!! These little gems are excellent for folks who have wheat allergies, and they are vegan (if you don't consider honey an animal product). I hope you enjoy these little goodies as much as I do! Be forewarned: the number of servings is an estimate from their baker, as at the store they make about 30 cookies the size of your head from this recipe. I HIGHLY recommend cutting it down some for your first try.
