What ingredients are needed for these easy tahini cookies?
- Tahini
- Almond butter
- Maple syrup
- Pumpkin spice
- Salt
- Quick-cooking oats
- Chocolate chips
How to make tahini cookies with pumpkin spice:
Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the tahini, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin spice and a pinch of sea salt until creamy and combined.
Pour in the quick-cooking oats and stir the mixture until everything is combined.
Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips. For this recipe, I decided to use mini chocolate chips, but feel free to use regular chocolate chips as they will work as well.
Scoop the cookies into the palm of your hand and form into the shape of a ball or use a small cookie scoop. Place each cookie onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Then place the cookies into the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies have lightly browned and are crispy around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Remove from the baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack to allow them to cool completely. The cookies will become firm as they cool, but the center will remain soft and chewy.
What if I don't have any tahini?
If you do not have any tahini, but still want to make this cookie recipe feel free to use all almond butter instead. However, it is worth using tahini as it adds another layer of flavor to this cookie and makes them chewy with a crispy edge.
How to store these pumpkin spice cookies?
Store these cookies in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature. These cookies are best for up to 4 days. Serve a few with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy these delicious cookies. Promise you won't regret it, plus you deserve it!

I made these and they were awesome ! I'm on an elimination diet and this included ingredients I can have, except the chocolate chips. I added another 1/4c oats just so the batter would hold together, but I think I'll try some shredded carrot next time. No eggs needed, still very cookie like, only 1/4c almond butter (because almond butter is $$$) and tahini to give it that unique taste. Thanks you! I got 16 cookies out of it using a 1T measuring spoon as my "scoop." That may be a small batch for some, but I found it a perfect amount for me.

Edward Kowalski says
Why not give the total number of cookies this recipe yields? I see that you list servings but trust me a serving for me can be quite different than a serving for someone else! LOL
LaKita says
Hi Edward! The serving size is the number of cookies this recipe yields 12 cookies with a 1-inch in diameter cookie scoop. This is an estimate and can vary depending on scoop size, amount, and person handling the scoop 😉

Perfect! These are really good and you can pretty much use anything instead of chocolate chips.
