This is an easy, tasty cookie that ages well in the fridge, if any of them make it that far! I first made these to take to a work meeting, and they disappeared happily from the table. By replacing some of the margarine that would be in a regular recipe with tahini, you are adding extra flavour and nutrients. What’s not to love?

*Aquafaba is a magical vegan cooking ingredient. It is the liquid from a can of chickpeas/legumes or the water they are cooked in. It can be used as an egg replacer in many recipes.
