This is the first year that I don\u2019t celebrate Independence Day in Israel.
\nThe emotions are mixed and the longing is great.
\nMy Israel,
\nI miss your rhythm,
\nI miss the smells and feelings,
\nI miss the Israeliness in the streets,
\nThe infinite honesty,
\nThe israeli togetherness,
\nThe Israeli heat,
\nAnd I even miss the Israeli chutzpah a little.<\/p>\n

This year I chose to celebrate the birthday of our sweet country with a happy and family bite, Based on the most Israeli food there is – tahini.
\nThe tahini has long been a star in our many and varied Essy Roz recipes.
\nIt\u2019s an innocent ingredient that turns into an amazing and fascinating bite that everyone falls in love with.
\nMy jumbo tahini cookie is the perfect ending to your Independence Day meal.
\nIt doesn’t matter if your barbecue is meat or vegan,
\nNo matter how you started the meal,
\nIt doesn’t matter if you ate a salad in it –
\nThis is your finale bite,
\nThe bite that\u2019ll pamper you and leave you with a taste for more.<\/p>\n

Jumbo tahini cookie,
\nEach person breaks a piece of it,
\nBite it,
\nFall in love with it,
\nAnd celebrate it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a festive and beautiful dessert that can be prepared in advance and be served at the end of the meal.
\nYou can prepare it while everyone is washing dishes,
\nYou can make it the day before.
\nOr in a few minutes before dessert time.<\/p>\n

Any way of serving will make you fall in love,
\nAnd it’s love that doesn’t end in one event,
\nThanks to this love you\u2019ll make this cookie at any festive event.
\nBecause it\u2019s one of a kind and special \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I imagine your Independence Day tables,
\nThe feeling in the atmosphere,
\nThe excitement in the streets,
\nThe moisture in the air,
\nThe feeling of joy in your heart,
\nAnd then this beautiful cookie comes to the table to make everyone happy.
\nThere\u2019s no sweeter and more exciting moment than this.<\/p>\n

Our Israel,
\nMuch congratulations,
\nI wish you that we only know good days,
\nThat we hug and be happy,
\nThat we always celebrate,
\nAnd that the news will always be optimistic and wonderful as far as you\u2019re concerned.<\/p>\n

Endless days of independence my beautiful country,

Jumbo Tahini Cookie<\/h2>\n
\n

Ingredients: suitable for one jumbo cookie 10.2\u201d-11\u201d(26-28cm) diameter<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00bd cup tahini (for alternatives, have a look at \u201cA little extra from me\u201d)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup maple syrup<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\u00bd cups oat flour (for alternatives, have a look at \u201cA little extra from me\u201d)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 100g finely chopped dark chocolate or any other addition you like<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Steps:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat the oven to 350<\/span>\u00b0F <\/span>(175<\/span>\u00b0<\/span>C) on turbo mode, and line a round baking pan 10.2\u201d-11\u201d (26-28cm) diameter with parchment paper.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Put all the liquid ingredients, the tahini, maple syrup and salt in a bowl and mix well.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, the oat flour and the baking powder and mix well into a sticky dough.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the dough (keep some of it aside to sprinkle on top of the cookie) and mix well.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Transfer the sticky cookie dough to the pan and spread it with a uniform thickness in the shape of a circle on almost the entire surface area of the pan (it’s worth having a sneak peek at the pictures). The best way is to work with slightly wet and moist hands and use patience.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate that you kept aside on top of the cookie and press it a little into the dough.<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Put the pan in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookie puffs up and becomes beautiful and mesmerizing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Take the cookie out of the oven, let it cool well and serve \ud83d\ude42
      \n<\/span>I recommend serving the cookie with a good ice cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

      A little extra from me:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • The cookie can be kept in a sealed box on the counter for up to 4 days (the crispiness of the cookie decreases over time).<\/span><\/li>\n
      • You can replace the tahini with almond butter.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • You can replace the oat flour with 1\u00be cups of almond flour.<\/span><\/li>\n

      • I used a round pan with a 10.2\u201d (26cm) diameter, but you can also use a rectangular shaped pan.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Instead of one huge cookie, you can make small cookies.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • You can add any add-ins you like such as raisins \/ cranberries \/ nuts \/ pecans \/ lemon or orange zest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
