Tahini-Orange-Date Crumble Cookies

16 cookies

A tahini-based cookie sounded like the perfect way to use some of that sweet, crunchy (sesame-seeded) mixture. I veganized the cookie recipe, swapped white flour for whole wheat, added almond flour and reduced the amount of sugar and fat – and I added a good handful of date crumble.... Read More

How to Prepare Tahini-Orange-Date Crumble Cookies

  1. In a small bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, salt and stevia.
  2. By hand or in a stand mixer, cream the butter and maple sugar.  Add the maple syrup, prune puree and extracts.  Process until well-mixed.  Carefully add the flour mixture and just as the dough is coming together, pour in the crumble.  Process just enough so that the crumble is thoroughly incorporated.  The mixture should be covered and chilled for several hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.   Scoop up generous tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them quickly.  When all of the balls have been formed, wet the bottom of a glass and gently press down the cookies.  Sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes, switching pans halfway through.  Allow to cool for a few minutes on the pans, then transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
