TIPS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY

Use good quality tahini - Soom Foods Tahini is my all time favourite and I have been using it for years! Using a good quality tahini is so important for this recipe since the tahini is the star of the show!

Let your cookies cool - As tempting as it is to dive in, be sure to let your cookies cool on the pan before serving. This gives them a chance to firm up and form that slight crisp on the outside.

Use a cookie scoop - For perfectly round and same shaped cookies, use a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto your baking pan.
