Thank you to Soom Foods for sponsoring today's post, any opinions expressed are my own.

The first time I had to purchase tahini at the store I had no clue where to even begin. I was not sure what it looked like or even what aisle in the grocery store that it would be on. Luckily, I was able to locate it on the speciality food aisle, in a can, with a plastic lid on it. I was also able to find out that tahini is made using sesame seeds. It is very creamy and has a much thinner consistency than peanut butter.

I believe the primary reason that I was in the store looking for this in the first place was in order to make some homemade hummus. I am a huge fan of hummus and once you learn how to make it yourself and see how easy that it is to make, you will definitely think twice before purchasing it in the store ever again.

The only problem is that once I made the hummus…figuring out what to do with the jar of tahini that I have left in the kitchen. This is when I began my search for other recipes that I could add tahini to. I found out that I love making a lemon tahini salad dressing and some tahini cookies.

Now the tahini that I purchase from the grocery store works just fine, but when Soom sent me their premium tahini to give a try. I could definitely tell you that one noticeable difference is that with the brand I picked up from the grocery store I noticed the oil would collect on the top with the thick sesame seed butter on the bottom and I would have to stir it before each use to make it creamy again. When I opened the Soom tahini for the first time it was already creamy and required not mixing what so ever. I really like that because it saves me the additional set of having to mix it together to use it in a recipe. Soom is also a woman-owned business based in Philadelphia.

These cookies are so easy to make and I have shared a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Tahini Cookies with you before on the blog, so I will link it here. These cookies require very few ingredients and are ready in less than 10 minutes. Try them!
