1

Preheat oven to 180⁰C bake (160⁰C fan-bake). Line 1-2 oven trays with baking paper. Prep coffee mixture.

2

Make wet mixture. In a large bowl, whisk Alamir Bakery Tahini and olive oil together until you have a smooth consistency.

3

Add egg, maple syrup/honey, apple cider vinegar, coffee mixture and sea salt and whisk until smooth.

4

Lightly mix in spelt flour, almond meal, salt, baking soda and baking powder with wet mixture until just combined.

5

Pop in the chocolate and pistachio nuts and mix again until just combined.

Important! Refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes.

7

With wet hands, roll mixture into small golf ball-sized balls and place on tray. Gently flatten each cookie.

8

Bake for 11 minutes then open oven and carefully bang the tray against the oven rack so the cookies flatten further. Cook for a further 5 minutes. If cookies look golden with crispy edges remove from oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container for up to 7 days.
