Tahini And Almond Balls Vegan Friendly Food

VEGAN TAHINI COOKIES

Steps:

• In a food processor, grind up almonds until they have broken into large crumbs. Then add tahini, 1/3-1/4th cup of agave to taste, and sea salt. Pulse food processor until the mixture balls up.
• Turn out into a mixing bowl and season with 1/4th to 1/3rd cup of Agave to your taste preference. Add one pinch of sea salt.
• Pour sesame seeds into a bowl. Roll 1 inch chunks into balls and dredge in the sesame seeds.
• Using your finger, press a small hole into the center of each cookie half way through to make room for chocolate filling. Set aside in the freezer to help firm up the cookies.
• While the cookies are setting, melt coconut oil in a saucepan. Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp of agave. Whisk until syrup is formed. Using a spoon, drizzle chocolate into the hole of each cookie.
• Place completed cookies in the fridge to allow to firm for a final time.

EASY TAHINI COOKIES (VEGAN + GF)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• To a medium mixing bowl, add tahini and maple syrup and use a whisk to thoroughly combine. Next add the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt to the tahini mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix well.
• Place the sesame seeds into a small bowl and set it nearby. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop the dough, then roll them into near perfect balls before gently rolling each ball in the sesame seeds and placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently press down on the balls to flatten slightly. Recipe as written should make ~20 cookies and they won't spread much, so they should all fit on a standard size baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!
• Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy at room temperature for best texture.
