A delicious and healthy cookie that can be put together very quickly. This recipe has a short list of ingredients and does not need any technical skills or even equipment. It can be an after meal treat or a powerhouse snack. I love the mixture of the cardamom flavor and tahini plus the sweetness of the dates.
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced dates
- 6 ounce tahini paste (toasted sesame paste)
- 5 ounce maple syrup
- 12 ounce fine almond flour (you could use almond meal instead)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (if not available, it can be substituted with cinnamon or vanilla extract)
