These do not taste conventional, but I've never let that stop me loving anything!! They were great, tasted like oaty tahinopita cookies. I used golden/thompson's raisens, wwpastry flour and about a tsp. of cinnamon (essential IMO!) Lovely texture. I halved it and got 20 cookies. (may I suggest changing "sesame butter" to "tahini" which is in the kitchen dictionary, to make the nutritional analysis more accurate?)
