Vegan Cocoa Tahini Shortbread

I adore shortbread. It reminds me of walking through the London streets. These may not be traditional shortbread, but they are delicious. Rich tahini and coconut oil ensure that these cookies stay moist. Cocoa powder and teff flour give a rich, nutty and earthy flavor. And our friend Aquafaba means that there is no need for eggs. These are the perfect thing to do while you #distractibake.

The most used kitchen tool and a cookie for one.

I love a good kitchen tool. I probably have far too many and I don’t use a lot of them. However, there is one that I use every day, multiple times a day. Once you have one, you can make yourself a single, chewy, salty-sweet, vegan cookie treat. I mean, that alone would make me buy this kitchen tool. Any guesses?
