Ingredients for 6 people

  • 900 gr. self raising flour of
  • 150 gr. tahini

  • 200 g sugar
  • 2 tbsp. baking soda

Implementation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180. C.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, tahini and half of the orange juice.
  3. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. In a cup, mix the remaining juice with the baking soda and pour the mixture into the bowl.
  4. Add the cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Then add half the amount of flour and knead by hand.
  5. Each time add the flour in portions until a soft, pliable dough is formed.
  6. We shape the cookies into sticks or another shape of our liking and transfer them to a pan lined with oil paste.
  7. Brush them with a little melted margarine and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes until lightly browned. Be careful not to overdo it because as they cool they will become hard.
