Tahini-Raisin-Oat Cookies

 Uprisings, p. 200

1 cup tahini

¾ cup honey

¾ cup sunnies [roasted salted sunflower seeds]

2 ¼ cup rolled oats

1 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 350F. Soak the raisins in hot water. Mix the tahini and honey together (over heat for easier mixing). 

Just a little heat does the trick to make the tahini and honey mix up  beautifully.


Add sunnies and oats; mix. Drain and add the raisins, then mix-up the whole mess.

It's not really that much of a mess.


Drop by tablespoonful onto greased cookie sheets and press the cookies down with a wet fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bottoms are light brown.

I ended up cooking the later batches for less time, because the first go-round got burned on the bottom.

My Rating: 4/5 "This is a great cookie flavor. Just sweet enough, but not teeth-chatteringly rich. The crunchy texture is also a lot of fun (although I could have handled the final cookie being a little more moist). They're also very filling. I've been eating the leftovers for breakfast!"
