Sweet & crunchy: white chocolate tahin cookies

You all probably know that I am a huge fan of peanut butter. Preferably homemade and so deliciously creamy that there is still an oil layer on top of the peanut butter. However, recently I discovered something new: tahini. Tahin (also called tahini, tachina and techina) is a paste made from sesame seeds and is mainly used with dishes such as

shawarma, falafel and hummus. In addition, it can also be used for sweet recipes such as sesame cookies, tahini cookies or tahini truffles.

But, is it also healthy? Yay! Tahini is particularly rich in nutrients and even contains minerals that are almost impossible to find in other food sources. Examples include: calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorus. In addition, tahini also contains the following vitamins: vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B11 and B15… Do I need to say more?

Okay, so it’s definitely healthy and in my opinion it’s delicious too. To convince you of the second, I have a recipe for you: white chocolate tahini cookies. Sweet, crunchy and extra tasty. Enjoy!
