Simple Tahini Cookies - Vegan and sugar free

Ben likes to make these cookies for potlucks and they are hit! 
Ordinal recipe is from Kathy Sant (Sant’s Natural Foods) published in the Harvest Co-op Cookbook, March 1994, pg. 125. Ben’s notes are in italics.

1 ½ cup rolled oats
6 Tablespoon tahini
½ cup honey or Barley Malt, Rice Syrup or Agave. A mix of sweeteners is especially nice.
½ teaspoon cinnamon and ginger, or cardamom if you have it.
Optional: Raisins and nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips *

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a medium size bowl. Drop by spoonfuls or roll into medium size ball on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten. (We oil our cookie sheet). Cook at 350 degrees F, 8-10 mines.


Tester Note:  They crumble a bit if you try to take them off the cookie sheet when they are hot, so let them cool before you take them off or line cookie sheet with foil and peel off when cooled.

* SunSpire Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips are available at Whole Foods.
