A WORD FROM THE CHEF
Always a popular treat and a great way to spend time with the children, this recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare and 10-12 minutes to bake. They are likely to disappear a lot more quickly than that!
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 12)
One medium egg
100g caster sugar
95g tahini (sesame seed paste)
20g butter, melted
1tsp vanilla extract
70g ground almonds
55g plain flour
1/4 tsp bread soda
90g 70% dark chocolate, chopped
Sea salt to garnish
METHOD
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the egg, tahini, sugar, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
Add the ground almonds, flour and soda. Mix.
Finally add the chopped chocolate.
Divide the cookie dough into 12 balls and place on the baking trays.
Using the palm of your hand, flatten them out.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and while still warm, sprinkle on some sea salt and enjoy warm or cold.
Top Tip
Replace the plain flour with gluten free plain flour to make these cookies coeliac friendly.
