| Halva Cookies |
It has the consistency of a cookie, and the taste of halva.
Amazing!
The recipe for these cookies is… well basically there’s no recipe.
Just mix:
2 parts tahini paste
1 part honey
That’s it. I’ve made as little as 2 tbsp. tahini paste + 1 tbsp. honey or you can whip up a big batch.
Mix the two ingredients vigorously with a fork. Keep mixing until it gets a more solid consistency. Wet your hands while forming the balls (so the dough doesn’t stick to them). Pat each ball down lightly and bake on a cookie sheet in a 150 C (300F) oven.
Extras:
Garnish with a pecan or almond on each cookie, or bury a piece of chocolate inside.
I have to warn you. While this recipe is super easy, the cookies are also a little finicky. They really don’t like to be over-baked, even a little. On the other hand, they don’t really change color, so it’s a bit hard to tell when they’re done.
My son (who introduced me to this great recipe - thank you!) baked them for 40 minutes. I needed a little less in my oven. My suggestion is to time them carefully and see what works for you, then do the same each time.
Note: This is an extremely kid friendly recipe. Got pre-schoolers at home? I’m sure they’d love to make homemade cookies with you.
Enjoy!

I like easy recipes ;) :) This is super easy with just two ingredient. I've never had halva before, so I don't know what that tastes like...but I can surely give this a try :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;)
Hi Heather,
halva has a very particular texture that isn't like anything else. With the cookies, you get the halva taste, but not the texture (which not everyone likes). But it's worth trying real halva at least once to experience something different. :)
Such a great idea! I wonder if it would work equally well with agave or coconut nectar. . . ?? Must try! :)
