Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the tahini, grape molasses and egg until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the whole-wheat flour, cinnamon and baking powder, and mix into a soft, slightly moist dough.

  4. 4

    Take walnut-sized pieces of dough, roll them in your palm, then gently press to flatten.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the cookies with sesame seeds and arrange them on the tray a few centimetres apart.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Let them rest on the tray for 10 minutes; they stay soft inside and can also be served warm.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Tahini and grape molasses are foods traditionally favoured at breastfeeding mothers' tables, rich in calcium, iron and energy. Whole-wheat flour, with its fibre and B-group vitamins, can help you feel full for longer. Baked rather than fried, these cookies can be a practical, portable and satisfying snack for busy days.
