Fast and Easy Israeli Tahini Cookies image

A quick and simple Middle Eastern/Mediterranean hit. I've seen both little Jewish grandmothers in Jerusalem make these cookies and Bedouin women living in the middle of the desert. A great simple recipe that isn't too sweet, is very versatile and fast. Enjoy.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Preheat oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

I added some chocolate chips to my cookies and they were delicious. I think you could add any kind of mix-ins you like.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover tahini. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookies.
