SESAME COOKIES [GLUTEN-FREE, SUGAR-FREE]

By

Sesame cookies with raspberry jam recipe diybitesPrep yourselves for these delicious, crisp, gluten-free, sugar-free cookies! You’ll only need a few ingredients and they’re fast to make. There are a lot of sesame seeds involved in this recipe, but did you know sesame seeds are an excellent source of copper, manganese, magnesium, iron, and vitamin B? 😎 In addition, sesame seeds contain two unique properties: sesamin and sesamolin. They belong to a group of valuable fibers, called lignans, which were found to lower cholesterol in humans. Sesamin, for example, has been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage 👊.

The only sweetness in these cookies comes from the 2 tbsp of honey, so expect them to be the not-really-that-sweet-yet-awesome type of cookies. However, feel free to add 1 extra tbsp of honey for more sweetness + extra 1 tbsp of rice flour. You can substitute honey in this recipe with 1 tbsp agave nectar.

You’ll get 8-9 medium sized cookies from this recipe. Optionally, you can serve them with lemon icing and raspberry jam. If you’re not into raspberry jam (weirdo😀), substitute with peach, blackberry, or even strawberry 🍓.
