Fresh Thymes famous grain-free, nut-free Tahini Ginger Cookie Recipe
Using fresh ginger elevates the feel of these chewy cookies. The fresh ginger stimulates your digestive system and reduces inflammation which is soothing to your gut. Coconut sugar is considered a whole food as it has not been refined and contains inulin, an important pre-biotic fiber, as well as a host of vital minerals. Additionally, tahini is extremely high in calcium, making these cookies indulgent, but also a guilt-free bio-available mineral treat.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh ginger, skin removed and sliced into coins
¾ cup warm water
3 tbsp flax meal
4 cups “hard or dry tahini” (oil drained off)** see note
2 ½ cups coconut sugar
1 oz baking soda
1 tbsp + 1tsp high mineral sea salt
3 tbsp cinnamon
¼ tsp cardamom
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Instructions
Peel ginger using a spoon and slice into coins
Add ginger and water to a high speed blender and blend well on high
Pour ginger mix into flax meal and mix well
Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well
Add tahini and ginger mixture to dry ingredients and mix well using gloved or lightly oiled hands
The dough will be very moist, almost like wet sand, with an inviting oily sheen.
Scoop ¼ cup spoonfuls of dough onto a sheet pan lined with parchment, or a silicone baking mat. Arrange 6 cookies per sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking. Remove from oven and while hot, use a fork if desired to create a cross-hatch and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
NOTE:
When you purchase the tahini, remove the lid, then pour off the oil at the top. These cookies will bake differently based on this alone. This is why Fresh Thymes ginger cookies could be temperamental. The drier the tahini, the more firm the cookie.
This will make more dough than one batch. You can form the dough into logs, wrap in parchment, and freeze until ready to bake. Just like grade school - slice them into rounds while frozen and put them in the warmed oven.
