1/2 cup Mighty Sesame Tahini
1/3-1/2 cup Gefen Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or sea salt
1 cup gluten-free quick oats
4 tablespoons golden ground flax meal
1/4-1/3 cup raisins or dark chocolate chips
In a medium size bowl, combine wet ingredients. Add all dry ingredients besides the raisins or chocolate chips. Mix with a fork or spoon.
Add in the mix-in of your choice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spoon out tablespoon-size balls and place on a metal cookie sheet lined with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies look set. Then turn the oven off and slightly open the door of the oven. Leave cookies in the oven with the door open for half an hour. Then remove from the oven and cool at room temp before eating. Leave cookies out uncovered at room temperature.
Alternatively, freeze cookies in a freezer safe container or bags. Defrost on the counter.

Oatmeal Tahini Cookies Is there a substitute for golden ground flax meal?
do they sell sesame tahini in israel? How can i find it or something similar here in israel?
Tahini or tachina is sesame paste. It is sold in every store, big or small, in every city in Israel. There are several companies that produce it. There is basically every hechsher you want. I have not seen it in squeeze bottles, but it usually pure paste that can be used as is or prepared with water, lemon, garlic, salt, or whatever spicing you like. You can also buy it pre-prepared with the spicing already added. Ask for tachina. It is a basic like hummus.
Really good!
Pretty cool flavour, but waayyy too heavy of tahini… I agree – u gotta love tahini to love these.
Interesting texture too.
You need to really love techina to enjoy these cookies.
Wow, really great cookie! I made for myself and my kids all ate them too! (They didn’t know the secret ingredient:) ). I loved that my kids were full after eating them! A real winner 🙂
Update: I keep making these and they keep getting finished! I’m planning on trying them Pressed down in a pan like bloodies… it’s shorter to prep… don’t have to keep rolling cookies…
Did you ever make them in a pan? Did it work out?
Out of this world! These cookies are not the norm! They don’t have the slightest bit of a “healthyish” taste. Texture and taste are just like the or even better than any sugar and flour loaded cookie. Wonder how many calories and fat a cookie would have? Can anyone tell me
