Every year as Yom Kippur ends, there comes that moment when everyone returns from the synagogue and my father brings with him a bunch of mint he picked in the yard.<\/p>\n

This is exactly the season of my favorite herb in the whole world,
\nI don\u2019t put my mint only in tea, it also finds its way into my cooked dishes, and even into baked goods and omelets.<\/p>\n

But this time the mint isn\u2019t the story, it\u2019s just the perfect sip to complete the beloved bite of cookie waiting here.<\/p>\n

My tahini, coconut, and almond cookies are simply wonderful.
\nThey\u2019re crispy on the outside and fudgy on the inside,
\nthe almond in the center adds even more interest and texture, and a little beauty too;)<\/p>\n

This is a tray of cookies I make every year when the fast ends,
\nit takes just a few minutes to prepare the cookie dough and a few more minutes to bake them,
\nwhile they\u2019re in the oven, I make a pot of mint tea and serve the tray of cookies straight from the oven to the table.<\/p>\n

The perfect combination is sitting on the balcony and enjoying the cool autumn evening breeze,
\ntaking a comforting sip of mint tea and biting into a tahini cookie that has just been baked.<\/p>\n

That is exactly the moment when I feel most at home in the world.<\/p>\n
