- 1 cup ground walnuts (plus additional for add-in*)
- 1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup buckwheat flour (*)
- 1/2 cup spelt flour (*)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp all spice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped apricots (I prefer Turkish apricots*)
- sprinkling sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In the bowl of a food processor, grind your cup of walnuts until it forms a powder/flour. Remove and add into a bowl with your oats, flours, baking soda, salt and all spice.
- In the bowl of the food processor add in your wet ingredients: olive oil, tahini, honey, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with your dry ingredients as well as your walnuts and apricot pieces.
- Mix together until a cohesive dough forms. The dough will be very thick.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough portions and place on parchment or silpat lined cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake each tray for 8 minutes, after 8 minutes, press cookies down gently with a wooden spoon to flatten slightly and bake for another 2 minutes.
- Remove, let cool and then place on rack. Store in sealed container or fridge. Enjoy!
Notes
**You could substitute flours if you choose, I have not done so yet but I would imagine traditional all-purpose would yield similar results. **Feel free to change out your add-ins if walnuts and apricots aren't your style. **You could use almond flour or other nut flour in place of walnut flour (chose walnut due to an almond flour allergy in the family)
