How to make Honey and Almond cookies
Chef Bee whipped up these cookies in no time and assured us that they’re super easy to make, so we decided we had to share them with you too! They’re sweetened with a touch of honey and we can certainly guarantee that they taste absolutely BEElicious!
The result? With just a handful of simple ingredients and less than half an hour, you can make yourself a batch of soft and chewy cookies, which taste BEElicious with an afternoon cuppa, we promise!So, without further ado, here’s the recipe.
Just Bee’s Honey Almond Sesame Cookies
Makes: 12 cookies
Time: 20 minutes (10 minutes prep, 10 minutes cooking)
Difficulty: 3/10 (Easy!)
Ingredients:
- 80g runny honey (we used Pa Harpers, as usual!)
- 80g tahini
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 150g ground almonds
- 60g buckwheat flour (plain, spelt or wholemeal flour would also work)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp. (30g) sesame seeds
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper, or grease lightly with butter/coconut oil.
- In a medium bowl, add the honey, tahini, beaten egg and vanilla extract, and mix well until smooth.
- Add the remaining ingredients (ground almonds, buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sesame seeds) and mix well until fully combined.
- Roll the dough into 12 ping pong sized balls and place them onto the lined baking tray. The mixture will be thick and sticky so it’s best to use your hands bees – it’s time to dive right in!
- Press down each ball with the palm of your hand, to create a thick disc.
- Bake in a hot oven for 10-12 mins, until the cookies begin to brown on the edges. Be careful not to over bake though – we like ours soft and chewy on the inside!
- Remove the cookies from the oven, transfer them to a cooling rack and leave them to cool (if you can resist!) before eating.
- Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Well there you have it. It really is as simple as it sounds. Add the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients, shape, and bake! These also make a pretty nifty surprise if you’re visiting a friend for a weekend coffee. Who can resist a healthy, but super BEElicious afternoon treat? We’d love to hear how get on with our latest honey hack recipe – let us know!
Until next time,

Joe’s honey and bee products are really good. I use the throat spray every day and the cough syrup actually works unlike many from the chemists. Highly recommended.
What can I use instead of tahini please and what amount.
I made the tahini cookies last week and was very impressed. I used rice flour instead of buckwheat and it didn’t affect the result. They were lovely, have saved the recipe as I think I’ll be making them regularly 😋
Hi, I am definitely going to try these recipes, especially the biscuits and the glazed chicken traybake. I have found the throat spray very effective and am using the honey and tumeric too which is great, will be reordering soon.
Since my first jar of Honey I’m hooked. I drink a honey and lemon drink every morning and have tried several flavours . What is different is that it’s not sickly sweet as other honey I’ve had before .I personally recommend you try this and you will be hooked too. I love the fact you are kept up to date with new products and flavours as well as the amazing recipes that are sent along with the regular news update and free flower seeds . It really feels you are included in their journey . Thank you so much . You have converted me from not really liking Honey , into loving it ! Now my family and friends are all buying it . Sooo good Thank you .
