I love including these cookies in my meal prep planning. Make a batch (or two) and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for the best, grab and go option all week long.

- Cinnamon: for additional, delicious flavor! Cinnamon and tahini pair very nicely together.

- Water: a little water helps to moisten oats so they can be formed into cookies more easily!
Special equipment
- Consider using a cookie scoop to portion dough! It's not required but it does come in handy.
Expert tips
- When forming cookies, your hands may get a little sticky from the dough! This can make it quite difficult to shape them correctly. Simply take a moment and rinse your hands to remove the majority of stuck ingredients. This will get you moving again.
- Keep in mind that you can shape your dough any way you want! You can makes balls or bites instead of cookies. Another fun option? Press dough into a parchment lined baking sheet, freeze and then cut into into squares or rectangles.
- I really love sprinkling a little additional cinnamon on top of my cookies before eating. I highly recommend, it's SO TASTY!
