Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have made cookies based on the peanut butter brownie recipe substituting the PB with tahini. They come out crispy and taste much like a PB cookie. 1 cup tahini 1/2 honey 1 egg 1/2 tsp baking soda If you let this go in the food processor for a while it gets thick enough to scoop out. I bake mine at 325 and check every 5 min or so. I think I cook them for 15 min. I use a greased baking stone.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hi Chrystee, Please see what Elaine wrote about using a lot of seed butter such as tahini (sesame seed butter): http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/seed_butter s.htm " For the hulled sesame seeds made into butter, I think that using some of this in addition to the almonds would be OK provided that not too much were used. I am not trying to be difficult but many of these seeds and nuts contains a minuscule amount of cyanide (as does vitamin B12). At one time when Leatrile (a cancer " cure " ) was very popular, the doctors pushing it claimed that this small amount of cyandide (extracted from apricot pits) was beneficial in killing off some cancer-causing agents. My fear is that we are using wonderfully nutritious nuts to bake with and if someone decides to make seeds (also containing cyanide) a large part of their caloric intake, it will be too much. Do I know what too much is for every individual?? Of course, I don't. I just don't have custom-made answers for every combination of foods .
