How to Prepare Chocolate Tahini Cookies [Vegan, Gluten-free]

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the flax meal and water together and set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a food processor.
Gently all wet ingredients together, including the flax egg.
With the food processor running on low, add the wet ingredients to the dry in a steady stream.
The mixture should come together quite quickly, resulting in a sticky dough. Let it rest a few minutes to give the cocoa powder time to absorb some of the liquid.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.
Press each dough ball down slightly and then top with a bit of sesame seeds, patting them down slightly into the dough.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Let cool COMPLETELY before handling. They are fragile when hot.
Enjoy!
