Chocolate Dipped Tahini Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or a silpat.

In a large bowl combine the oats, cinnamon, chopped dark chocolate, and chopped almonds.

In a smal bowl microwave the dates for 25 seconds until soft. Smash the dates with a fork then combine with the tahini, honey, maple syrup, and coffee. Pour the tahini mixture into the bowl with the oats. Stir thoroughly to combine. Try to get your hands in there to stir. You’ll be able to more combine everything more thoroughly.

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out enough to form a 1-inch ball. Line the balls up in the pan. Press on each one to flatten. Make them as thick or thin as you like.

Bake at 350ºF for 15 to 20 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

If desired, melt chocolate chips according to package directions and dip cookies in melted chocolate. Enjoy!
