Description

These toothsome cookies are rich with tahini, almond paste and meal, fruit, and multigrain flakes. They make great snacks for the bicyclists in my life!

Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup roasted tahini
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup turbinado sugar
½ cup almond paste
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup almond meal
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup multigrain flake cereal
⅔ cup dried sour cherries
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, tahini, brown sugar, 3/4 cup of turbinado sugar, and almond paste until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla and orange juice. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, almond meal, and cinnamon; stir into the batter until well blended. Mix in the cereal and sour cherries.
3. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons of turbinado sugar over the tops.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden at the edges. Cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
