Dangerous Tahini Cookies

Instructions

1. Soak your dates in hot water at least 30 min if they're hard. Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.

2. In a bowl mix together tahini, oil, maple syrup, flax egg. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon.

3. Combine the two and form the cookie dough. Depending on the consistency of your nut/seed butter you may not need all of the dry mix. If the dough gets too crumbly, add a drop of water to combine it back together. Refrigerate the dough while making the filling.

4. To make the filling, blend the hazelnuts until meal-like in a food processor. Add the soft dates and blend some more to form a crumbly filling.

5. Grab heaping teaspoons (10g per cookie) and form balls between your palms. Set aside (refrigerating or freezing helps). Take heaping tablespoons of cookie dough, roll into a ball and wrap it around a ball of filling. Repeat.
