I have made these cookies and they are delicious and a quick fix for something sweet. I made a few alterations though: changed the sugar with natural date syrop and used the chocolate tahini (from "the tahini goddess") instead of the regular tahini. Their tahini is so rich and smooth abd the chocolate flavour is my go to on about everything, strawberries, ice cream, pancakes it is just perfect snd still healthy. Thanks for your recipe.

This cookie needs an experienced hand!
I suggest allowing the liquid (water) to soak into the oats and add more as needed. I used bourbon and then added water as needed. Plus adding raisins really makes it an oatmeal cookie 🍪

Amazing slightly under cooked AND easy to adapt to be sugar free with brown sugar substitute (or Monkfruit sweetener and molasses!)

Love these! If you like the flavor of tahini, these are perfect. Made them twice already and will be keeping this recipe on deck. So easy to make too.

I swapped one ingredient namely the refined brown sugar and swapped it for Turkish Pekmez ( grape molasses ). So dark/whole tahini, pekmez and oats, wow I think it's a game changer of a cookie for me. So simple yet so brilliant. No need to add any chocolate chips, vanilla or cinnamon, just a perfect 3 ingredient cookie......

I used 125grams of GRAPE molasses and 125grams of tahini, dark tahini is tahini that is unhulled. It's far more neutrisous than regular hulled tahini.

Made these, they taste like oats, sugar, and tahini. If that is your jam, go for it. Tried adding chocolate chips to second try (in oven now). With so many delicious baked goods out there, and oodles of time during quarantine, would not make these again.

Super easy and quick. Used some "black" tahini and reduced sugar quantity a little bit. They came out great and super crunchy!

We wanted to love these. And we did! I wrote the recipe and taped it inside a cabinet door so me and the kids can make these on the fly! Of course, we'll be adding chocolate, maybe some chia, a splash of vanilla... What joy this recipe has sparked. Thank you!

I love these cookies! I made them according to the recipe but already imagining the next batch with chocolate or dried fruit. I used Whole Foods 365 brand of tahini (all that was left on the shelf) and thought it worked well.

I was so excited to see this recipe, especially since I already had all the ingredients in my pantry. As much as I really wanted to like this recipe, it was an epic fail. The cookies were way too cloying. No one in my family wanted these (and I have two growing boys who loves sweets). Way too sweet and one dimensional.

So, on their own these are very bland. I also added a bit more water. And honey. And chocolate chips.I also refrigerated the dough. I think a dash of vanilla and cinnamon would be lovely, too. Its a great start but very one dimensional

I've now made these cookies twice. The second time I added a bit more water and packed the dough into a 1/4 cup measure. Then I "plopped" it out upside down on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Topped each one with a bit of leftover dark chocolate. Everyone, including me, loved them! I sent a photo of them to my Italian cousin (very accomplished cook!) and she immediately asked for the recipe! They are so easy and good. The hardest part is stirring the tahini in the jar.

I just made these using sunbutter instead of tahini and they were great - not bitter at all or in any way tasting of sunbutter (the brand I had tasted similar to tahini). Added some dark chocolate chips and probably needed an extra tablespoon of water to get the dough going. I would definitely make these again.

so i misread your comments and thought you meant that you got double points for making a chocolate version of these cookies (rather than oatmilk!). i should have realized that would make them 4 ingredient cookies! anyway, i did plain ones then added some cocoa powder to a small amount of the dough. both are delicious! in fact, i'd be happy to eat the raw dough, and i typically HATE raw cookie dough. these cookies are too easy and too good to be true.

Well, I finally tried these yesterday. They were incredibly hard to "roll". Like trying to form dry sand into a ball. So, I added more milk and that did not work either. Then, I packed the "dough" into a 1/4 cup measuring cup, not quite full. Pressed it down and then upended it onto the parchment paper. Held my breath. Baked. Could not wait to taste so grabbed a hot one right out of the oven. Fell into 100 pieces! Ate with a spoon. Delicious! Waited for the rest to cool. They hold together if you Handle With Care. Will make again and add vanilla. Loved them. Guests liked them too. I guess if they really fall apart, you can put the pieces over plain yogurt (I only use full fat!) as Andrea mentioned. I had found myself with two big jars of tahini and needed to get using them. These are by far the best use of tahini ever! Faint taste of tahini that some folks might not like. I loved them!

These were SO good! They also make a nice addition of sweetness to plain greek yogurt when crushed up. I made these to use up my jar of tahini and now it looks like I'll have to buy more! Can't wait to make them again.
