Loaded Tahini & Date Paste Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. If using a metal cookie sheet, lightly oil or line with parchment paper.
2. Put everything but the baking powder together in a food processor.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Blend in the baking powder.
5. Get together a small bowl of water, a tablespoon (or medium size cookie scoop), and a fork.
6. Use the tablespoon/scoop to get approximately a tablespoon of dough.
7. Wet your fingers in the bowl of water, and roll the dough into a ball.
8. Place dough balls on a cookie sheet, spacing them evenly. Dough should make about 1 dozen cookies.
9. Dip the tines of the fork into the water, then press the crisscross design into the cookies. We find you need to dip after every cookie to keep from sticking.
10. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set, the tops begin to lighten, and the cookies look puffy.
