This tahini and honey recipe is a Lebanese twist on the traditional Christmas biscuit. Whip up a batch to give to guests or leave some out for the man in red on Christmas eve.

 ½ cup sesame seeds
 1 ½ cups almond flour
 ½ tsp baking soda
 ¼ tsp sea salt
  cup honey
  cup tahini
 1 tsp vanilla extract
1

Preheat the oven to 180°. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Spread out the sesame seeds on a large plate.

2

Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda and salt.

3

In a separate large bowl, mix the honey with the tahini and vanilla extract.

4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

5

Roll the dough into balls with your hands then roll the balls through the plate of sesame seeds.

6

Set the rolled balls onto the baking trays and flatten them down. Arrange the balls so they are far enough apart that they won't touch when cooked.

7

Bake the biscuits for 8 minutes, until the biscuits are slightly golden. Transfer the biscuits to a rack and let cool before serving.
