these tahini oat sandwich cookies are DIVINE!

These tahini oat sandwich cookies are not your ordinary sandwich cookies – and in the best way possible!

tahini and oats create a cookie with such unique flavor and texture!

You know how much I love love love tahini – it’s not only delicious but provides a savory note to baked goods that complements the sweeter ingredients so beautifully. And the oats give a texture and crunch that is just irresistible!

what is in tahini oat sandwich cookies?

These easy one bowl cookies take a cue from classic chocolate chip cookies, using very similar ingredients. What makes them extra special is the tahini filling – soooo good:

flour
baking soda
baking powder
oats
kosher salt
unsalted butter
tahini
granulated sugar
brown sugar
egg
vanilla
powdered sugar
honey

how do you make them?

The cookie dough is an easy recipe, made in one bowl, scooped onto a baking sheet and chilled. The filing is whisked by hand and chilled as well (this makes it easier to scoop onto the cookies). Bake up the cookies, cool, fill, sandwich and serve!
