Quick and Easy Tahini Ginger Cookies

Quick and Easy Tahini Ginger Cookies

My obsession with all things tahini in both supporting and starring roles in both sweet and savory creations continues. On the sweet side of the equation, I recently made ginger cookies where tahini takes the place of nut butters that are more commonly used in cookies.

Although these are definitely ginger cookies, the ginger taste — provided by using fresh grated ginger instead of powdered — is mellow allowing a perfect balance with the nutty sesame flavor of tahini. Slightly crunchy on the outside, with a soft and moist interior, this recipe only yields a small batch — 10 cookies to be precise. But the recipe could easily be doubled, and you may just want to consider doing just that. They are not overly sweet, and you'll have a batch of freshly baked cookies in hardly any time at all, for which store-bought versions quite frankly seem pale and pedestrian in comparison.
