  • In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Stir dry ingredients into wet until well combined.
  • Next, add your add-ins! Mix thoroughly.
  • Scoop the dough using an ice cream scoop. The cookies don't spread, so you can fit approximately 9-12 cookies on your prepared cookie sheet. Dampen your fingers and lightly flatten the cookies into desired circles.

  • Once baked, let cool on a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies freeze so well!! Perfect for meal prep.
I used tahini, but you can swap it out for your desired nut or seed butter.
You can add whatever inclusions you desire!!
