Tahini is a mild nut butter that really pairs well with the honey and oatmeal in this cookie. Made from ground sesame seeds, the flavor is milder than many other nut butters. But if you are feeling less adventurous, or your pantry does not permit using tahini…it is easy to switch this to ingredient to peanut or almond butter. No adjustments needed in measurements.
My kids don’t love fruit in cookies…so I omitted any raisins or other fruit and to be honest, I love them without anything added! These cookies are so chewy and sweet, they don’t really need anything. Perfectly paired with a glass of ice cold milk or hot chai tea!
I also think these would be amazing with a cream cheese frosting sandwiched between two of these yummy cookies for a homemade oatmeal pie!
Tips for success!
If you are a novice cookie baker, there are a few items that will truly make baking cookies easier and will help ensure a successful, delectable cookie every time!
Every cookie baker needs a stand mixer, it truly does change how you can create cookies and cakes. The quality of your batter improves….mixing for 5 minutes at medium speed with a hand mixer seems like forever!! Of course, you cut corners and mix less time. Additionally, it is easier to prepare other ingredients as the butter and sugars whip together! Splurge…get one! It will change your baking life.
Silicone baking mats are awesome! So much easier than parchment paper. More even baking for your cookies, easier clean up, and better cookies overall…what is not to like?
Honey Tahini Oatmeal Cookies
These honey tahini oatmeal cookies are incredibly easy to whip up and super kid friendly! My kids love them and they don’t notice the oatmeal!
For best success, use room temperature butter and eggs. It helps the ingredients incorporate into each other better.
I use old-fashioned oats, not quick oats. These produce a much better texture for the cookie.
The recipe shared is the perfect palate to personalize it to your cravings! Add 3/4 cup of raisins, chopped dates, or chocolate chips. Or drizzle with caramel or melted chocolate!
