ah yes.. cardamom. That'll do it.
Makes 48 cookies
Ingredients:
40g all purpose flour
240g whole wheat flour (or just 1 cup of each)
2 tbsp creme de marrons (chestnut purée) or 70g almond powder
150g butter (5 1/2 oz)
150g (3/4 cup) sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (I didn't have any so I just left it out completely)
2 tsp ground cardamom
1tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp water
200g (3/4 cup) tahini
Directions:
1. If you have the equipment, mix all the ingredients in a fancy machine until you have a homogenous crumbly dough. If you're like me, do it with your hands and develop those bakers muscles. Even if I had a fancy machine, I think I would still do it with my bare little hands.
2. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
3. Make tablespoon sized balls and roll them around in your hands before flattening them slightly on the cookie sheet.
Desire calmed. Well, at least this one...
These are very very rich, not too sweet, and packed with protein. 1 or 2 should be enough to calm a hunger episode. I suppose tea or some George would pair nicely with these. We shall make it a date, then. Who's in? Meanwhile I'm going to take a nap.. I'm drained.
*update
These are by far my new favorite cookies. My next cookie experiment is going to be gingerbread, but I will surely come back to making these regularly (if I can get my hands on some more tahini).
