Sesame cookies
Low starch and gluten free often means soft and chewy cookies, but these are fantastically crisp! High in protein and calcium, these are a great sweet treat that look after your health too.

- 100 g rice syrup
- 35 g tahini sesame paste
- 1 tsp vanilla essence sugar free
- 60 g sesame flour
- pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- sesame seeds for coating
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 180 fan, 200 electric or Gas 6.
- In a bowl, melt the butter or coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave.
