Tahini and rose halva cookies

These chewy halva-like cookies are truly the business. A taste of these will transport you to Turkey or Morocco or somewhere in the incredible Middle East. Make a double batch. You’ll thank me.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (260 g) hulled tahini
  • 1 cup (210 g) coconut sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp rosewater

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

2. Place the tahini, sugar, egg and rosewater in a bowl and mix well. Keep mixing until the mixture comes away from the side of the bowl and forms a ball.

3. Shape tablespoons of the mixture into balls, flatten slightly. Place on the lined trays and bake for 10 minutes, until golden and firm.
